The Pacific Youth Festival Organizing Committee has expressed concern that they have not have heard any word from their New Zealand counterparts as to whether they are going to attend the Fest next year.

This follows the expulsion of the Acting New Zealand Hgh Commissioner to Fiji, Caroline McDonald.

Pacific Youth Secretariat Tarusila Bradburgh said that though it is too early at the moment to say anything, they have not had any replies to their invites.

However, Bradburgh said that New Zealand being one of the founding members of the Secretariat of the South Pacific they should attend as the invitation extends to all members of the SPC.

The Pacific Youth Festival will be held in July next year at the University of the South Pacific.
