AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoPacific Security: Tuvalu PM Feleti Penitala Teo condemned China’s submarine-launched, nuclear-capable ballistic missile test, saying it violates the Pacific’s push for peace and a nuclear-free Blue Pacific under the Treaty of Rarotonga, with the missile reported to have splashed down about 1,900km northwest of Samoa near Tuvalu’s EEZ. Regional Response: Solomon Islands PM Matthew Wale also lodged a formal protest, warning “friends don’t threaten friends,” while Australia says Pacific leaders are preparing a “very strong” joint statement through the Pacific Islands Forum. Defence Pacts: The missile test has fed into renewed security talks as New Zealand signals interest in joining Australia and Fiji’s Vuvale Union/Ocean of Peace Alliance, and Australia’s defence moves are being debated across the region. Local Impact: Australia and partners continue work to clear World War II explosive remnants in Tuvalu’s Nanumea Lagoon, including an ADF mission supporting safer waters.
