The 65th meeting of the United Nations General Assembly is continuing in New York with Pacific island leaders raising concerns over global security. Last week, the Pacific Island delegations used their addresses to call for urgent action on an agreement to tackle climate change. Those calls were echoed by the leaders of Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Vanuatu and Samoa.
But, they also broached a far more diverse range of topics, including threats to world security. Samoa's Prime Minister, Tuilaepa Sailele, warned that climate change could cause more international conflict, but also called for greater cross-border co-operation to tackle terrorism.
Presenter: Helene Hofman
Speakers: Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare of Papua New Guinea; Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele of Samoa; Prime Minister Edward Natapei of Vanuatu
