AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

UN Leadership Race: Tonga-nominated Ivonne A-Baki was rejected by all five permanent members in the latest Security Council straw poll for secretary-general; Costa Rica’s Rebeca Grynspan led overall. Anti-Trafficking: Tonga secured its first trafficking conviction since 2011, with a seven-and-a-half-year sentence for forced labour. A US report also flagged gaps in victim support and enforcement. Power and Fuel Costs: Tonga Power added 3.52 megawatts at Popua amid persistent outages, while Tonga is set to receive US$15.39 million in ADB emergency aid to help manage fuel costs and protect electricity services. Regional Policing: Tonga backed a new Pacific Community of Policing, bringing regional cooperation under one structure. Accountability: A regional news roundup reported that only four of 37 complaints to Tonga’s Anti-Corruption Commission reached full investigation, alongside acknowledged procurement failures.
