AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Vanuatu–PNG Diplomacy: Prime Minister James Marape returned from Vanuatu’s 46th Independence celebrations and backed deeper ties, including PNG’s new Port Vila chancery support and continued cooperation on fisheries, agriculture and tourism. Regional Security & Elections: Marape also discussed a proposal for Timor-Leste to contribute defence personnel to help PNG’s 2027 election security force, alongside Vanuatu, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Australia and New Zealand. RSE Labour Mobility: Vanuatu’s consul-general says RSE workers will enter New Zealand via a one-way bubble from 4 October, skipping MIQ and using a shorter on-site isolation and testing process. Sovereignty Statement: PM Jotham Napat reiterated Vanuatu’s non-negotiable position on the disputed Matthew and Hunter Islands, stressing diplomacy but firm territorial defence. Pacific Governance & Media: Pacific publishers warn Facebook algorithm changes are cutting reach sharply, threatening access to news and emergency information; Vanuatu’s VBTC is among those reporting major declines. Pacific Ocean Protection: Vanuatu and partners are pushing the Melanesian Ocean Reserve corridor, linking multinational Indigenous marine protection across the region. US Visa Bond Impact: The US has made its visa bond programme permanent, with Vanuatu among Pacific states potentially facing refundable bonds up to US$20,000 for certain temporary visas.
