US Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy talks to SBS

It's been a year since US Ambassador Caroline Kennedy assumed her posting in Canberra. Her arrival came after the position was unfilled for more than a year - and as the US takes an increased interest in our region. A number of American and Chinese officials have been criss-crossing the Pacific broadening relationships. SBS's Naveen Razik spoke with the ambassador, during her recent visit to Solomon Islands when she spent time on the island where father, John F Kennedy was marooned after his ship was destroyed during World War II.
