Andrew Anton Mako spoke to Pacific Beat about PNG's liquified natural gas exports and possible disruptions to current economic arrangements by the news that Taiwan is considering reviewing its economic ties with PNG.

Robin Davies spoke to Radio NZ about the New Zealand Government refusing to support amendments to the International Health Regulations which would support Pacific nations during cross-border health emergencies, with new provisions on equity, financing and supply chains.

He says if the government is unwilling to participate in the upgraded international framework for health emergency cooperation, Pacific governments are entitled to wonder how much practical support they can expect when the next regional health crisis arrives.
