Pacific parliamentarians urged to champion young people

The United Nations Population Funds Representative to the Pacific, Najib Assifi, has urged the Pacific parliamentarians gathered in the Samoan capital, Apia, to be active champions for young people of the Pacific.

More than 50 representatives are attending the 2nd Regional Meeting for Pacific Parliamentarians.

A New Zealand delegate, MP Steve Chadwick, agrees that the Pacific should invest in young people and their human rights, saying she will be pushing for a couple of issues to be discussed at the week long conference.
