AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoPacific Security: Pacific leaders and analysts condemned China’s July 6 submarine-launched long-range ballistic missile test, saying it landed in the heart of the “blue continent” between Nauru, Tuvalu and the Solomon Islands, with New Zealand calling it “unacceptable” and “incredibly unwelcome” after the missile crossed the EEZs of Micronesia, Nauru, Tuvalu and Kiribati. Regional Diplomacy: New Zealand’s Winston Peters said the country should not be “fazed” by China’s pushback, warning that if such behaviour goes unchallenged it will likely continue. Kiribati in the Mix: The missile’s reported flight path included Kiribati’s EEZ, keeping Kiribati and other atoll states at the centre of great-power risk. Education Spotlight: A new global comparison puts Kiribati at the top for education spending share of GDP (16.39%), far above most countries. Travel Access: Germany published its 2026 visa-free list for 62 countries, including Kiribati, for short stays up to 90 days.
