AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 minutes agoOcean Policy: French Polynesia expanded ocean protections to 30% of its waters, adding 520,000 sq km and boosting artisanal fishing zones around the Austral Islands (8,000 sq km) and the Marquesas (nearly 19,000 sq km), building on last year’s Tainui Atea Marine Protected Area. Regional Security: China test-fired a submarine-launched long-range ballistic missile into the Pacific, drawing fast condemnation from Australia and New Zealand as “destabilising,” with officials saying the launch was routine and not aimed at any country—while analysts link the timing to rising Pacific defence alignments. Aviation & Safety: French investigators still can’t pinpoint the cause of a pitch-control jam that forced an Air Tahiti ATR 72-600 go-around on approach to Nuku Hiva; bird-nest findings were inconclusive. Tourism & Travel: Air Tahiti Nui is highlighted for expanding direct routes (including Sydney) and upgrading the passenger experience on its Boeing 787-9 network. Business & Tech: DXN sold its Tasmania data center site as it shifts focus toward prefabricated modular facilities, while also winning a CLS contract in American Samoa.
