AGP Executive Report

Last update: 25 minutes ago

Port & Deep-Sea Mining Tensions: Cook Islands leaders and campaigners are reacting to the US–NZ-backed Penrhyn (Tongareva) port push, with Greenpeace’s Juressa Lee—Cook Islands-descended—directly challenging Winston Peters’ claims and warning the project could open the door to seabed mining. Pacific Diplomacy: The 55th Pacific Islands Forum in Palau ended with major donor announcements, but also raised questions about regional unity after several leaders skipped the summit, leaving “empty chairs” and thinner solidarity. Infrastructure for Outer Islands: Work is underway on Mauke’s new $300,000 purpose-built cargo shed, due in early November, aimed at improving freight protection and handling. Sports Pathways: The Oceania Netball World Cup qualifier begins in Tonga with Cook Islands among the teams chasing two spots; meanwhile, Cook Islands badminton celebrates Danny Simpson becoming the first local coach to complete the BWF Level 2 course. Women’s Sport & Talent: Cook Islands’ senior women’s handball returns to international indoor competition after 22 years, and the OFC U16 Women’s Championship kicks off in Solomon Islands with Cook Islands among the contenders. Community & Environment: Students in Tere Apii‘anga’s Alternatives to Plastics challenge are pushing practical swaps to cut single-use plastic. Health & Safety Recall: Woolworths recalled its Multi Grain Cereal in NZ and also exported to the Cook Islands after reports of possible blue plastic pieces.
