As the Pacific Islands Leaders Forum kicks off in Auckland today, what do the people of New Zealand think about it?
Well many people do not even know that the Pacific Forum will be held in their country this week.
Although a lot of focus is being placed on regional cooperation and talks are also expected on Fiji’s suspension from the Forum since 2009, there is little coverage in NZ.
Radio Australia spoke to a number of people in Auckland on whether they are aware of the Pacific Islands Forum being held in their city.
Some even said that the Forum is a waste of time.
The Pacific Islands leaders will have their meeting until Friday and will then attend the opening Rugby World Cup match between the All Blacks and Tonga on Friday night.
