AI in the Pacific workplace: Tower Insurance has appointed Cook Islands–Tahitian executive Michael Skeens as Chief Operations Officer, with a focus on rolling out AI in customer service while managing the people side of change. Moana Pasifika ownership fight: NZ Rugby won’t confirm claims that Pacific unions—including Cook Islands—back the Kanaloa Consortium bid as Moana Pasifika remains under liquidation. Cook Islands-China shipping milestone: PM Mark Brown attended the inauguration of the new inter-island vessel MV Tuitui Moana in Wuzhou, China, aimed at improving connectivity across the Pa Enua. Trade cooperation: The Cook Islands delegation joined PACER Plus budget and joint committee meetings in Tonga, shaping proposals on trade facilitation, customs, standards and biosecurity. Tourism and travel links: Cook Islands Tourism says it’s pushing deeper into North America with new airline partnerships and demand for authentic experiences; meanwhile, Air New Zealand’s direct Christchurch–Rarotonga service starts as a seasonal boost for South Island travellers. Weather alert: A heavy rain and ocean warning is in place for the Southern Group, including Aitutaki, with flooding and rough seas possible. Health update: The Cook Islands has been declared dengue-free again after 26 days without a recorded case, though other Pacific areas still report cases.
