Sun Rises On Trade Radio

A new program for Forum traders.

THE SOUTH Pacific Trade Commission has lauched its Pacific Sunrise radio program to improve communications, develop trade and encourage investment between Forum island countries. The program follows the format of a weekly 15 minute broadcast by Radio Australia and radio stations in the South Pacific are encouraged to record and rebroadcast the program on domestic frequencies.

Says senior trade commissioner Bill McCabe: “With assistance from the Australian Development Assistance Bureau (ADAB) and utilising the production expertise of Radio Australia, we are confident that Pacific Sunrise will be a

successful venture one that should help to facilitate successful trading ac tivities between member countries.”

Pacific Sunrise focuses on a number of different topics each week includ ing trade development news, product ex port programs, finance and marketing advice for the small business operator, new business opportunities, market analysis information and more. It incor porates interviews with people from the region as well as representatives from the Trade Commission.

The programme as a whole will assist in overcoming the isolation and limited communications currently affecting the South Pacific,” says Bill McCabe. □
