Port Vila Political Brief

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Pacific Influence: China is shifting from large infrastructure loans to smaller, more frequent grants to deepen its role in the Pacific, including Vanuatu. Tax Scrutiny: The EU says Vanuatu has made progress on tax transparency, but it remains on the bloc’s non-cooperative list over fair-taxation concerns. Sanctions: A Vanuatu-flagged tanker was among vessels targeted in the latest US sanctions on Iran’s oil trade. Climate Diplomacy: Prime Minister Napat called for a united Pacific message ahead of COP31, as regional leaders pressed for climate action at talks in Fiji. Sovereignty: The government rejected a New Caledonian MP’s remarks, insisting Vanuatu is not for sale.
