Close to 200 people were expected in Honiara, Solomon Islands, when the tenth annual General Assembly of the Pacific Conference of Churches began on Friday 1 March.
The Assembly will hear that corruption, bad political leadership and poverty have continued to rise in the Pacific over the past two decades.
“It’s important that the regional leaders know that there are mechanisms which exist within the different cultures that allow for good governance practices,’’ said PCC Programme Coordinator Aisake Casimira.
“Often we take the Australian, New Zealand or US view of governance and the economy or leadership. Those options are not necessarily the best in our Pacific situation.”
