AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

PNG Election Security: Papua New Guinea plans to request 200 defence personnel from Timor-Leste to help supervise next year’s general election, building a 1,000-strong multinational election security and observation team that could also include Vanuatu, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Australia and New Zealand. Vanuatu-Regional Diplomacy: PM James Marape reaffirmed PNG’s support for Vanuatu’s stability and growth at the groundbreaking of PNG’s new chancery in Port Vila, including policy help in fisheries, agriculture and tourism. Maritime Sovereignty: Solomon Islands opposition says a US “shiprider” ocean-policing deal signed in Honiara raises serious sovereignty concerns, calling for full details and parliamentary debate. Pacific Media & Governance: Vanuatu and other Pacific publishers warn that Facebook algorithm changes are cutting reach for news and emergency information, leaving communities more exposed. Regional Fisheries Funding: The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency says the US Tuna Treaty remains vital, with a second 2026 distribution worth US$50.42m reaching member states. Energy & Resilience: A solar scheme expansion is set to cut installation costs by about 20% for mid-scale solar on schools, warehouses and farms, aiming to boost disaster resilience. Vanuatu Sovereignty Line: PM Jotham Napat reiterated Vanuatu’s non-negotiable position on the disputed Matthew and Hunter Islands, stressing diplomacy but firm territorial defence. Health & Travel Risk: Australia’s Smart Traveller warns tourists about dengue risk in Samoa, with Vanuatu also facing outbreaks.
