Port Vila, MINA – Indonesia’s government has been helping fund the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG)’s secretariat.

The secretariat, based in Vanuatu’s capital Port Vila, has experienced funding limitations in recent years, RNZ reported.

The five full members – Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Fiji, Solomon Islands and New Caledonia’s FLNKS Kanaks Movement – are meant to pay annual contributions.

However, some members have struggled to pay their dues on time in the past few years.
