AUCKLAND (Asia Pacific Report/Pacific Media Centre/Pacific Media Watch): The countdown to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Papua New Guinea is well underway.
As the PNG government finalises preparations for this high-level meeting next month, instability is growing from pressing development issues. But, reports Pauline Mago-King of Asia Pacific Journalism, some of the youth are committed to strengthening their country’s resilience.
As well as APEC on November 17-18, the independence vote in New Caledonia on November 4 and the Fiji general election on November 14 are topics previewed in articles by postgraduate students on the AUT Pacific Media Centre’s Asia Pacific Journalism course.
