Lima

Stunned residents watched and filmed on mobile phone cameras as Evangelina Chamorro escaped after being swept into an avalanche of mud, wood debris and farm animals, about 53 kilometres south of downtown Lima.

Ms Chamorro, 32, had just dropped her two daughters at school and was feeding her pigs alongside her husband when they were pulled into a landslide.

Armando Rivera, Ms Chamorro's husband, told RPP radio they climbed a tree but the trunk broke.

They held on to each other's hands but Ms Chamorro eventually lost her grip and got separated.

PM O’Neill has offered to work closely with Vietnam when it hosts APEC in 2017, which is immediately before Papua New Guinea hosts APEC in 2018, and Vietnam’s President has confirmed he will attend the APEC Leaders’ Summit in Port Moresby.

The two leaders met as part of the APEC Leaders Week in Lima, Peru, last weekend where they further discussed co-operation in agricultural skills and development, and the prospect of establishing a Papua New Guinea Embassy in Hanoi.
