Vanuatu chief nakamal repairs underway soon- PM

Vanuatu's prime minister, Charlot Salwai, says repairs to the chiefs' nakamal in Port Vila should begin soon.

According to RNZI, he has told parliament US$260,000 dollars will be made available for the repairs.

The chiefs' nakamal was damaged during Cyclone Pam in March last year.

The nakamal is often visited by tourists wanting a glimpse of a traditional meeting house.
