AGP Executive Report

Last update: a few seconds ago

Nakamal Agreement Signed: Vanuatu Prime Minister Jotham Napat and Australia’s Anthony Albanese signed the long-delayed Nakamal Agreement in Canberra, locking in a A$500m partnership and making Australia Vanuatu’s primary policing and disaster-response partner, while requiring Port Vila to consult Australia on any third-party involvement in critical infrastructure and keeping it free from militarisation, foreign interference, or unauthorised access. China Pushback: China warned the deal shouldn’t be used for “geopolitical games” or to target third countries, after Beijing’s own Namele security cooperation with Vanuatu and renewed police deployments in Port Vila. Climate Resilience Support: GEF approved four Pacific climate adaptation projects, including Vanuatu, to help communities and infrastructure handle flooding, sea-level rise, and coastal erosion. Disaster Readiness Training: SPC and WFP trained disaster logistics and warehouse officers from six Pacific countries, including Vanuatu, in warehouse operations and relief dispatch. Youth in Climate Policy: Save the Children and Pacific youth leaders urged child-centred solutions at Vanuatu’s Pacific Innovation Forum on Climate and Environment. Regional Politics: Solomon Islands PM Matthew Wale called for a stronger, more effective Melanesian Spearhead Group after talks with PNG’s James Marape.
