AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoRegional Trade & Industry Push: ECOWAS ministers in Accra backed a “mine together, process together” push to move West Africa’s minerals beyond raw exports, build factories, cut non-tariff barriers, and boost intra-African trade—explicitly naming Guinea-Bissau among member states. Maritime Risk for Shipping & Seafarers: India escalated protests after US strikes off Oman killed three Indian seafarers across three largely Indian-crewed tankers (including a Guinea-Bissau-flagged vessel, Jalveer). The Ministry of External Affairs summoned US Chargé d’Affaires Jason Meeks again, calling the attacks “unacceptable” and urging an end to lethal force against civilian shipping. Global Pressure on Conduct at Sea: UN chief Antonio Guterres condemned the tanker attack, echoing IMO language that endangering seafarers and international shipping is “simply unacceptable.” Gulf Tensions & Deal Uncertainty: US-Iran peace talk claims and denials continued, with Trump rejecting Iranian media portrayals of terms while Iran said nothing final is agreed—keeping shipping uncertainty high around Hormuz.
