AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Digital Connectivity: Telkom Indonesia has inaugurated the Pukpuk Submarine Cable System (Puk-Puk 1) in Papua, a new cross-border link aimed at boosting Eastern Indonesia’s connectivity and strengthening Indonesia–Papua New Guinea telecom ties. Diplomacy Deadlock: BRICS foreign ministers in Delhi failed to agree on a joint statement, with Iran and the UAE clashing over the West Asia war—India issued only a chair’s statement. Energy Shock Meets Markets: Global stocks slid and oil jumped after US–China talks raised fresh doubts over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, feeding inflation fears; in India, the rupee hit a record low near 96/$ and shares fell as crude pushed costs higher. Social Protection Push: Bangladesh’s BNP government is drafting a budget that would massively expand its welfare safety net, targeting millions more under a family-centric protection framework. Tech & Security: Indonesia plans to extend its under-16 social media ban to e-commerce, while Asia’s counter-drone push keeps accelerating as countries learn from recent conflicts.
