Pacific diplomacy: New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters meets in Auckland today with Niue PM Dalton Tagelagi, plus Fiji and Samoa ministers, as NZ pushes closer ties in “uncertain geostrategic times.” Niue in the spotlight: Peters’ meeting with Tagelagi is his first in-person since Tagelagi’s May re-election, underlining the ongoing constitutional relationship. Health: A new WHO-UNICEF report says only Niue hit 100% childhood vaccination coverage on its national schedule, with other Pacific states falling short of the 90% goal for at least some vaccine types. Opportunity: UNITAR is calling for applications for Women’s Leadership in Disaster Risk Reduction for World Tsunami Awareness Day 2026, open to eligible Pacific and Asia-Pacific applicants, with a 21 August 2026 deadline.
