Want latest news
on Pacific islands?

Is there a day that goes by without you wondering how the Solomon Island ban on exporting parrots is going? Or are you consumed with a need to know on what happened to that bi-partisan panel investigating the secessionist crisis on Bougainville in New Guinea?

Those are just a few of the questions cleared up by a visit to the Pacific News Report page at http://166.122.161.83/pireport.htm.

The pages are hosted by the East-West Center and Pacific Islands Development Council. You get a brief summary of news from some of the most isolated and obscure islands this side of Kaula Rock.

The information doesn't stop there, however. The Pacific News Report also comes with a set of links to more islands.

For instance, if you need to get the latest on the resettlement program on Bikini Island, or you just want a vacation, then set your browser to http://www.bikiniatoll.com/.
