The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade announced the appointment of Sir Salamo Injia as a member of the Commonwealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal (CSAT).
PNG’s former chief justice has been appointed as a judge of the Commonwealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal (CSAT) for a four-year term and will serve in his term from January 2021 to December 2024.
