AGP Executive Report

Last update: 41 minutes ago

Pacific Security Deadlock: Pacific Islands Forum foreign ministers in Suva failed to agree on a joint statement condemning China’s July missile test, with New Zealand’s Winston Peters saying “outsiders” influenced the outcome; Reuters reports Nauru and Kiribati blocked consensus. Regional Ownership Push: PIF chair Rick Houenipwela urged ministers to strengthen regional ownership of external partnerships and deliver practical outcomes ahead of the leaders meeting in Palau. Honiara Power Upgrade: Construction has started on a 22-kilometre transmission line linking the Tina River hydropower facility to Honiara’s grid via Lungga, aiming to cut reliance on diesel and support cheaper electricity by early 2028. Mining & Electricity Reform: The government says it will take up to a 25% stake in major mining projects and cut power costs to about 15 US cents/kWh under new reforms. Agriculture Expansion: Parliament heard plans to plant 10,000 hectares of new cocoa and coconut plantations, plus nursery and pest-management support. Digital Connectivity Milestone: Australia-backed work means all 18 PIF members are now connected to the global undersea cable network. Education Rollout: PM Wale says free education will roll out nationwide in 2027. Infrastructure Progress: Kirakira Wharf in Makira-Ulawa is at 90% completion, with remaining works expected to finish by month-end.
