Vanuatu's new Foreign Minister says a more fair distribution of cabinet portfolios has strengthened the Charlot Salwai-led government.
Prime Minister Salwai yesterday defeated a parliamentary motion of no-confidence lodged against him by the oppostion, winning the vote 37 to 13.
Ahead of the vote, he made a last minute cabinet reshuffle in which the Graon mo Jastis Pati and its leader Ralph Regenvanu were big winners.
Mr Regenvanu says his was one of the parties previously under-served in ministerial positions relative to their number of MPs.
