@ahawatson @anudpa @devpolicy @ANUasiapacific @ANUBellSchool @toni_erskine @ShaneMcLeod @rohan_fox_work @RNZPacific @Pacific_Connect @BartHoogeveen Construction of VU's 2nd cable system (Honiara to Port Vila) was commenced in 2018 but later placed on hold due to the geopolitical tussle in Honiara u mentioned in your presentation. Are u aware of any other projects in the region which have been affected by this ongoing issue?
