It will contribute immensely to the development of the nation’s human resource, economy, infrastructure and improving the livelihoods and living standards of thousands of communities.
The President of the PNG Chamber of Mines and Petroleum, Gerea Aopi, said this when speaking at the 35th Australia Papua New Guinea Business Forum held in Port Moresby recently.
“The industry alone contributes 26 percent of PNG’s GDP and 80 percent of the nation’s export revenue,” Aopi highlighted.
