Samoa's prime minister has gone public with his desire to re-home the University of the South Pacific in his country.
It's a long-term vision, according to Tuila'epa Dr Sa'ilele Malielegaoi, one that has been resurrected by the ongoing saga surrounding the tenure of USP vice-chancellor and president Pal Ahluwalia.
In the latest chapter of his fraught presidency at the region's premier university, professor Ahluwalia and his wife were arrested and deported by Fiji authorities without consulting other regional partner governments.
Dominic Godfrey has been following events and joins us now. So what has the prime minister said?
