Deputy Prime Minister Charles Abel: Papua New Guinea in the year of APEC

Papua New Guinea is about to step onto the global stage. In November, leaders representing half of the world’s GDP will descend on Port Moresby for the APEC Leaders’ Summit. This will be the largest event the country has ever hosted.
 
In the context of a struggling economy and development challenges, what benefits will APEC have for the people of PNG? What are the major opportunities and difficulties in hosting such an event? How will the links forged by the summit help bolster and diversify the country’s economy?
 
Join us for an address by the Hon. Charles Abel, Deputy Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea.
