Anote Tong: The Pacific Islands Forum
After a big week at the Pacific Islands Forum Summit we speak to someone who's been in the game for decades, former president of Kiribati Anote Tong. The PIF was formed 51 years ago as independence swept through the region, and it's become the Pacific's key political gathering point. But is it living up to the promises and optimism of its early days? And with all the talk and attention on great power play in the region, what about the role of the big states Australia and New Zealand? Anote Tong discusses his decades of involvement with the regional body and whether it's doing enough to meet the challenges facing the people of Te Moana Nui-a-Kiwa.
