“This kind of gathering is an opportunity for broadcasters to dicuss and exchanges their views and experience and find solutions to localize it. I’m happy see that this Pacific Media Partnership Conference that ABU initiated is going on well and it turns to be the unique media gathering for the region and ABU will fully support that.”

The ABU was established in 1964 to help in the development of the broadcast industry.
