AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 minutes agoPacific Security: China’s rare submarine-launched nuclear-capable ballistic missile test into the South Pacific has triggered sharp condemnation across the region, with reports saying the missile flew over Micronesia, Nauru, Tuvalu and Kiribati before landing near the Tuvalu/Kiribati area; Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the United States called it destabilising and lacking transparency, while China insists it was routine training not aimed at any country. Regional Diplomacy: New Zealand’s Winston Peters said the Pacific should not be “fazed” by China’s pushback as NZ explores joining Australia and Fiji’s Ocean of Peace Alliance, while Tonga’s PM said the test “created tension” and urged faster treaty talks. Tuvalu Governance: Tuvalu moved closer to adopting its first National Security Policy after a validation workshop, with the draft taking a whole-of-government approach beyond policing and defence. Climate Policy: Tuvalu and FSM backed a UN push for stronger methane cuts, urging measurable reductions rather than voluntary pledges. Local Security Cooperation: Tuvalu welcomed Australia’s Royal Australian Navy minehunter survey work under Operation Render Safe in Nanumea Lagoon to reduce risks from unexploded ordnance.
