AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoNew Caledonia Health Crisis Watch: New Caledonia’s newly elected government says it is in “cessation of payments,” warning of a possible complete shutdown if it can’t secure about 13 billion Pacific francs (around €109m) by the end of August, as talks with the French state aim to mobilise “refoundation pact” funds. Cabinet & Health Portfolio: President Milakulo Tukumuli has unveiled a “collegial” cabinet, assigning health, social protection and transport portfolios to him, while other key roles go to pro-France ministers including Christopher Gygès (economy, tax, telecommunications, customs, external trade and food sovereignty).

Regional Response Leadership: The New Zealand Defence Force has taken over leadership of the Pacific Response Group from Australia, with health and communications among the specialist functions supporting humanitarian aid and disaster relief across Pacific nations.
