ALOFI, Niue (August 7, 2002 – Radio New Zealand International)—Premier of Niue Young Vivian says dealing with the offer of a multi million dollar investment by a South Korean religious sect is not at the top of his agenda.

The proposal of about US$ 100 million would see the Koreans buy the government’s two hotels, re-establish a medical school on the island, and provide an air service.

In exchange they would get long-term access to land for what has been called a holy city, which would be an enclosed compound spread over 150 hectares (370.5 acres), housing up to 800 people.

Mr. Vivian says there is a lot of opposition to the plan, so they are proceeding cautiously.
