AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoPacific Security: China’s first submarine-launched long-range ballistic missile test since 2024 has drawn sharp condemnation across the region, with the missile reportedly landing near Tuvalu/Kiribati after flying over several Pacific EEZs; Australia, Japan, New Zealand and the United States called it destabilising and lacking transparency, while Pacific leaders say it threatens the “Ocean of Peace” and the nuclear-free identity. Local Policy: Tuvalu moved closer to adopting its first National Security Policy after a validation workshop, with the draft taking a whole-of-government approach that goes beyond policing and defence to include climate, cyber, maritime security, transnational crime, migration and economic resilience. Climate Action: Tuvalu and the Federated States of Micronesia backed a UN push for stronger methane cuts, urging governments and industry to deliver measurable reductions rather than voluntary promises. Disaster Risk & Safety: Tuvalu welcomed an Australian minehunter survey of Nanumea Lagoon under Operation Render Safe, aimed at reducing the risk from World War II unexploded ordnance. Energy & Waste: Tuvalu launched a plastic waste and used engine oil pyrolysis machine with the University of the South Pacific, turning waste into alternative fuel for local power and cooking tests.
