Speaking to SOLOMON WOMEN in an interview, Mrs. Piko who will be travelling with the team as team leader said the trip is an initiative that Honiara Council of Women (HCC) and Honiara Council of Women (HCW) aims to empower women with marketing abroad to showcase and display their products.
She said the women are looking forward to strengthen their sister relationship bond between market vendors in Vanuatu.
