Cyclone Maila recovery: King Charles sent condolences to PNG and Solomon Islands, while the UK announced fresh support for emergency relief, schools, clean water, and disaster response, including a rapid insurance payout. Blue Pacific push: Pacific energy and transport ministers wrapped up PRETMM6 in PNG with the “Manubada Call to Action” urging faster delivery on energy access and maritime connectivity. Education and faith: The Salvation Army broke ground on a new three-storey school and church complex in Boroko, expanding Grade 11–12 education. Security and safety: Australia will embed a cybersecurity adviser in Samoa’s communications ministry as regional cyber threats grow. Environment and risk: Cyclone Maila also exposed WWII-era unexploded bombs in Solomon Islands waters, renewing calls for clearance work.
