AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoPacific Islands Forum in Palau: Niue is among the 18 members meeting under the B.E.L.A.U theme, but several leaders are missing and New Zealand’s Winston Peters says it’s disappointing, not a sign the forum matters less. Niue–PNG cooperation: Papua New Guinea and Niue signed a framework agreement on development and technical cooperation, covering trade, education, health, climate resilience, infrastructure and people-to-people links.

Fuel + El Niño warning: Pacific communities facing fuel stress are being told to prepare for El Niño impacts—drought in some areas, heavier rain in others, and pressure on safe water, food and children’s health. Tuna in the spotlight: FFA and SPC launched “Tuna Bites” for World Tuna Day and Pacific Tuna Month, with Niue among the countries running a tuna dish competition. Remembering Niue’s WWI servicemen: 39 memorial headstones were delivered to Niue by an RNZAF C-130J to mark the next step in honouring First World War service.
