AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Pacific Power Play: Australia is scoring fresh wins in the “Great Game” for influence, with Vanuatu moving to sign a cooperation deal and Solomon Islands choosing Matthew Wale—an outspoken critic of Beijing’s grip—just as the region braces for bigger fuel shocks. Fuel Shock Coordination: Pacific leaders have invoked the Biketawa Declaration to coordinate a response to looming fuel supply risks tied to Middle East instability, aiming to keep shortages and price spikes from spiralling. Solomons Politics & Policy Reversal: In Honiara, Wale has moved fast—locking in a full Cabinet and immediately reinstating a ban on dolphin exports after a brief lift under the previous administration. Local Delivery on the Ground: Australia-backed community projects worth over SBD 11 million are rolling out across Solomon Islands, while SIART continues market-linkage work in Malaita and livestock outreach on Ugi boosts farmer capacity. Infrastructure Watch: Road sealing and aviation works are progressing, including Mendana Avenue sealing and continued Air Traffic Control Tower construction at Honiara and Munda.
