Last update: 8 hours agoPacific Security: Australia’s PM Anthony Albanese and Solomon Islands PM Matthew Wale both raised concerns over China’s missile test, with Albanese warning it could fuel dangerous nuclear proliferation and Marles saying Australia has directly expressed concern to Beijing. Regional Diplomacy: The missile test came as Australia and Fiji formalised the “Ocean of Peace Alliance,” and Albanese then turned to Solomon Islands for talks on a broader comprehensive treaty. Nauru in the Flight Path: Taiwan’s security chief Joseph Wu said the missile passed over the Philippines and landed between Nauru and Tuvalu, while Australia declined to publicly confirm where it impacted. Maritime Strategy: A new analysis says the Pacific seabed is becoming a crowded, contested space where mining, cables, military activity and other uses collide—raising friction risks that existing rules struggle to manage. Deep-Sea Mining Legal Fight: Nauru Ocean Resources Inc. and Tonga Offshore Mining Ltd. (both linked to The Metals Company) have sued the International Seabed Authority at ITLOS to block a compliance investigation, with contract timing now a key pressure point. Fisheries Governance: Pacific fisheries ministers wrapped the 25th Forum Fisheries Committee meeting in Wellington, setting priorities for sustainable management and regional cooperation.
