AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Pacific Security & Diplomacy: Australia and Fiji have elevated their defence partnership into the Vuvale Union and signed the Ocean of Peace Alliance, as China’s long-range missile test in the South Pacific triggered fresh alarm across the region; PNG PM James Marape urged major powers to stop using the ocean for missile tests, while Pacific leaders weigh a “very strong” joint statement condemning the move. PNG Governance & Integrity: ICAC has sworn in newly appointed commissioners to strengthen anti-corruption leadership, while Prime Minister Marape has ordered an independent probe into alleged irregularities in the SME Fund, with the Commerce portfolio shifted from Win Daki pending the audit. Mining & Investment: Solomon Islands and PNG agreed to deepen mining sector governance cooperation, and Adyton secured an environmental permit for the Wapolu gold project restart; South Pacific Metals also reported high-grade gold-copper drill results at Ontenu. Business, Jobs & Services: The World Bank says PNG growth is strong but jobs lag, with crime, insecurity, regulatory uncertainty and weak infrastructure raising the cost of doing business. Aviation & Connectivity: Solomon Airlines has resumed direct Honiara–Port Moresby flights after 15 years, boosting trade and tourism links. Sports & Youth Pathways: Australia’s $250m Pacific Rugby League Partnership opens the door for NRL and NRLW matches in Pacific Island nations and funds grassroots, school programs and youth violence prevention, with PNG Chiefs set to host home games from 2028.
