AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoTuvalu’s Protest Over China Missile Test: Tuvalu Prime Minister Feleti Teo said the region must not become a “testing ground” after China’s nuclear-capable submarine-launched ballistic missile splashed down about 1,900km north-west of Samoa near Tuvalu’s EEZ, calling it a “grave and serious” breach of Pacific nuclear-free aspirations under the Treaty of Rarotonga. Regional Security Push: The test has triggered fast condemnations across the Pacific, with Solomon Islands PM Matthew Wale calling it “not the act of a friend” and registering a formal protest, while Australia and New Zealand also demanded clearer notification and transparency. Australia’s Pacific Deals in the Spotlight: The missile launch landed hours after Australia and Fiji signed the Ocean of Peace Alliance and Vuvale Union, and it comes as Australia steps up defence pacts across the region, including moves involving PNG, Tonga and Samoa. Energy Shift Background: Separate coverage notes countries are accelerating solar, batteries and electric vehicles to cut reliance on imported oil and gas after the Iran war’s supply shocks.
