AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoMissile safety push: 41 countries, including Japan and South Korea, are urging at least 24 hours’ notice before long-range ballistic missile or space rocket launches, saying better warning would cut the risk of miscalculation—especially after Pacific-area tests that didn’t follow common notification practices. Deep-sea mining rules stalled: The UN’s International Seabed Authority extended a controversial exploration contract tied to Nauru Ocean Resources Inc., but again failed to finalise rules for commercial seabed mining, drawing criticism over precedent and enforcement. Nauru-linked fisheries leadership: The Parties to the Nauru Agreement opened applications for a new Chief Executive Officer to steer sustainable tuna management and ocean resource governance across member states. Pacific unity on security messaging: Pacific leaders say they’re working toward a unified stance on ballistic missile testing, with wording still being negotiated. Shipping climate finance: Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Palau, Tuvalu and Vanuatu argue the IMO Net-Zero Fund is essential for fair mid-term shipping emissions measures, calling it the “singular guarantee” the transition won’t leave small states behind. Identity update: Nauru is moving forward with the constitutional change to use “Naoero” as its official name, with the referendum plan dropped.
