AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoCitizenship & local resilience: Naoero (formerly Nauru) is defending its citizenship-by-investment programme as a way to protect families amid global uncertainty, after New Zealand’s Winston Peters urged Pacific countries to build stronger local economies and limit outside influence. Food security & trade: Fiji sent Naoero its first pilot shipment of 54 boxes of locally grown produce—eggplants, long beans, cassava, watermelons, pineapples, tomatoes, taro and more—after a PIDF partnership deal, with biosecurity checks and Nauru Airlines transport. Northern Pacific Connector fallout: Naoero’s transport minister says the end of Australia’s Northern Pacific Connector contract feels like a “slap in the face,” with the tender process still unclear despite Nauru Airlines running the route since 2022. Pacific unity under pressure: Pacific foreign ministers stressed “regional ownership” as leaders prepare for the Palau forum, where disagreement over how to respond to China’s missile test has left some members—reported including Nauru—at odds with a proposed joint statement. Regional environment governance: Wallis-et-Futuna chaired SPREP’s Executive Board meeting in Apia, pushing to ensure smaller territories’ environmental concerns are represented while reviewing priorities and funding.
