AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Maritime Accountability: Vanuatu’s Maritime Safety Authority has lodged a criminal complaint over the MV Matui tragedy, calling for the captain’s arrest and charges against the owners and management for alleged breaches of the Shipping Act, after the ferry sank on 11 September with dozens still missing. Government Response: Prime Minister Jotham Napat cancelled his UN General Assembly trip to stay in Vanuatu, meet survivors in Santo, and push for stronger, better-resourced maritime safety and search-and-rescue capacity, including shifting VMSA functions to the Prime Minister’s Office. Disaster Aid: China donated NZ$155,000 to support recovery on Ambae and response to MV Matui, with funds earmarked for drilling wells and improving access to clean water. Police Cooperation: Vanuatu police will send 50 recruits next year for a six-month training programme at PNG’s Bomana Centre of Excellence, aimed at strengthening cross-border policing skills and professional networks. Regional Climate Leadership: Vanuatu has formally put forward interest in hosting a Pacific Multi-Hazard Early Warning Centre, building on its growing meteorological and disaster-risk monitoring capacity. Pacific Fisheries Diplomacy: Pacific countries used COFI37 in Rome to press for stronger recognition and support for Pacific-led, science-based fisheries management. UN Credentials Politics (Vanuatu link): Vanuatu is listed among the UN Credentials Committee members as Myanmar’s Kyaw Moe Tun faces a decision on whether he can remain in his role.
