A member of Papua New Guinea's parliament says the Pacific Islands should not be lumped in with Asia as a region.

Gary Juffa, the Governor of Oro province, says the Pacific should be considered as a region on its own because its ethnic make-up is distinct to Asia.

He also says the islands region's surface area is huge and important enough to be a global region in itself.

Mr Juffa shared his concerns about the Asia-Pacific tag with Johnny Blades.
