Peters opens funiture craft centre in Vanuatu

Foreign Minister Winston Peters began his visit to Vanuatu this morning by opening a craft house in Port Vila.

The craft house, built with the help of New Zealand's international development agency NZAID, is part of a project to beautify Port Vila's beach.

The building will house women entrepreneurs who until now have been selling their goods out of the tent.

"Economic development, particularly small and medium businesses, is one of the key areas of NZAID's work in Vanuatu," said Peters said. "The craft house will enable the women who sell goods in here to operate in a stable environment and attractive."

Crafts house built in traditional style with natanggura, and intended to attract the increasing number of tourists visiting Port Vila.
