Is it safe?

Is it safe to send a young low hour graduate to the other side of the world to fly in a country where the other crew members speak a different language, have a different cultural / training backgrounds? (and I'm not talking about racism before someone jumps down my throat) CRM??

I can picture it now: highly experienced captain of asian airline sat next to a plucky 20 yr old FO from england (who thinks hes gods gift to aviation because of his oxford background and rich parents) with no actual experience flying jets.... And theyre on approach through a tropical storm to some tin pot airfield...

And not to forget it is a 'low cost' operation.
