AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Climate Diplomacy: At Pre-COP31, Prime Minister Lord Fakafanua is pressing for stronger climate finance and practical resilience support for Pacific communities. Tonga is also due to present its 2026–2035 climate plan. Security and Law: Tonga has used its Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crimes Act in court for the first time, convicting Comancheros leader Eneasi Taumoefolau and fellow Australian deportee Tevita Shoji; sentencing is pending. Accountability: Tonga’s anti-corruption watchdog says it opened 36 investigations in its first year but has yet to bring charges, highlighting challenges in turning inquiries into prosecutions.
