Prime Minister formally submitted Tuvalu’s Instrument of Ratification for the Pacific Resilience Facility to the Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum, thus officially committing to regional cooperation and climate resilience

Eight Tuvalu caregivers employed on four-year contracts at an aged care facility in Pottsville, Australia, were informed their job was cut with immediate effect, forced to leave in 48 hours; Townsville took the fleeing group in and integrated their visas

Government expresses deep concern over the recent escalation of tensions in the Asia-Pacific region; an official post on Facebook reminded that Tuvalu strongly opposes any unilateral or coercive actions that threaten regional security, stability and peace

At WCPFC22, Tuvalu said that key fisheries rules are falling behind and must be strengthened to protect the region’s tuna stocks and the economies that rely on them; the strongest warning came on high seas’ transshipment
