AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoFisheries: NGOs are urging Pacific fisheries governments to back science-based skipjack tuna limits at a November meeting, rather than delay implementation for up to six years. The decision matters to Nauru and other countries with major tuna grounds. Regional Security: Australian officials told a Senate hearing that China gave roughly two hours’ notice before its July missile test over the Pacific; the missile landed near Nauru. Australia said the warning lacked detail, and Foreign Minister Penny Wong did not say which Pacific governments were alerted. Climate Resilience: Nauru is among 14 countries set to benefit from a US$250 million climate grant for resilient infrastructure and essential services. Separate US funding will support mobile emergency alerts in Nauru and eight other Pacific countries. Regional Diplomacy: A Tongan Christian group welcomed Israel’s new Pacific Islands Forum partnership and cited Nauru among countries supporting Israel. Pacific civil society groups, meanwhile, have called for the partnership to be suspended and urged Nauru, Fiji and Papua New Guinea to move their embassies from Jerusalem.
