AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoPacific Policing Push: Fiji and Australia’s AFP have opened a Pacific Transnational Crime Summit in Fiji, aiming to hit drug trafficking networks head-on as 17 tonnes of illicit drugs (mostly cocaine) have been seized in the region since January—about three tonnes a month. Cross-Region Coordination: The meeting is also setting up a new International Joint Investigations Team in Colombia, with Pacific chiefs of police and Five Eyes partners sharing tactics to target syndicates moving drugs to and through the Pacific. Geopolitics in the Background: The summit lands amid wider Pacific security anxiety, with recent coverage also flagging how Guam and Micronesia are being pulled deeper into US-China competition. Digital Lifeline: In parallel, NEC says it has finished the 2,250 km East Micronesia Cable System (EMCS), bringing faster, more reliable internet to FSM, Kiribati and Nauru—an upgrade that matters when storms and isolation can cut communications fast.
