Food & Culture: The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency and the Pacific Community are rolling out “Tuna Bites” for UN World Tuna Day and Pacific Tuna Month, with Niue among the participating countries. It’s built around a one-day national tuna-dish competition, judged by local culinary experts and broadcast on TV to spotlight tuna’s role in Pacific food security and culture. Regional Partnerships: Papua New Guinea and Niue have signed a framework agreement on development and technical cooperation, covering trade, tourism, education, labour mobility, health, agriculture, climate resilience, digital connectivity, and people-to-people exchanges, with the option to end the deal on six months’ notice. Lifestyle & Travel: SeaDream Yacht Club announced SeaDream III, its first new ship in 25 years, set to debut in July 2029 with about 200 guests, a near-equal crew, and a focus on intimate, personalized cruising—starting with voyages from Hong Kong and later expanding through Asia and the Pacific. Sport & Youth: PNG Prime Minister James Marape welcomed NRL star Jerome Luai as the PNG Chiefs’ “Player Number 1,” framing the signing as part of a Pacific talent pathway that includes players from Niue and other island nations.
