EU Food Safety Compliance: Fiji, Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu officials met in Suva for a two-week technical training on new EU freezer-vessel requirements that could affect about 97% of EU-listed Pacific Island-flagged vessels, after EU auditors found freezer vessels failing to reach the required -18°C in brine; the training was run by the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency with EU support to help authorities certify and oversee safer seafood exports. Climate Resilience Funding (Niue included): The GEF approved new resilience funding for vulnerable countries, with Niue among those set to receive over USD 67 million total to reduce flood and coastal risks and strengthen food and water security, backed by LDCF and SCCF projects plus co-financing. Dialysis Access via Regional Aid: India’s external affairs minister shared that India delivered a haemodialysis machine with a portable RO unit to Samoa under FIPIC-III commitments, continuing earlier support such as a container-based dialysis unit sent to Kiribati. Health Recognition in Honours: New Zealand’s King’s Birthday Honours included health-focused recognition, including Dr Paul Andrew Baker appointed KNZM for services to health, alongside other awards touching maternal and perinatal health and children’s health.
