Maritime Enforcement: Tuvalu detained a Chinese-flagged longliner after police said it fished at night without navigation lights, used AIS to mask its position, and had an expired FFA authorisation; investigators also flagged sharks discarded without logbook records, with the vessel held in Port of Funafuti while checks continue. Pacific Security: China’s nuclear-capable ballistic missile test over the South Pacific has reignited calls for a Pacific-led security agreement, with Australia’s Pat Conroy saying the launch damaged Beijing’s regional standing and leaders expected to discuss stronger cooperation at the Pacific Islands Forum. Diplomacy & Trade: Taiwan’s vice president said China is suppressing Taiwan “everywhere” after Papua New Guinea moved to close Taipei’s representative office in Port Moresby, a move Beijing praised and Taipei condemned; Reuters reports PNG’s decision may not reflect full internal consensus. Tuvalu Policy & Climate Finance: Tuvalu says it is moving closer to its first National Security Policy, framing security as broader than policing to include climate, cyber, maritime safety, crime, migration, energy and economic resilience; separately, Tuvalu and FSM backed a push for stronger methane cuts at the UN. Regional Business/Logistics: Cameroon’s main port Douala-Bonabéri reopened after a collision involving the Tuvalu-registered MV Sea Honor and Cyprus-flagged MV Black Rhino, with authorities citing an investigation into a likely steering failure.
