AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Border Security: New Zealand’s customs minister opened a detector-dog facility in Vavaʻu, the second in Tonga. Jointly run by Tonga Police and Customs, it will help screen passengers, cargo and boats for drugs and firearms. Maritime Cooperation: Tonga’s Royal Navy joined the U.S. Coast Guard in vessel boardings and other enforcement operations; Tongan officers retained authority over targeting and any penalties. Government and Infrastructure: Tonga has signed an aviation investigation agreement with Papua New Guinea, while construction of the new Parliament building continues. Climate and Water: Tonga’s lands minister has warned of water shortages as El Niño intensifies drought risks; drought-insurance payouts are also supporting the country’s response.
