7,000 business executives to attend APEC

More than 7000 business executives will be in Port Moresby during the Asia Pacific Economic Corporation (APEC) Summit in 2018.

Prime Minister Peter O’Neill told Parliament this afternoon.

He said the APEC Summit is a unique opportunity for the people of PNG to take advantage of business opportunities.

O’Neill added that three cruise liners will also berth at the shores of Port Moresby during the APEC Summit and will bring revenue into the country’s economy.

The Prime Minister was responding to Opposition leader Don Polye on total cost of hosting the APEC summit in 2018.

The prime minister said the summit will also be a good opportunity for big business companies in the world to come and invest in the country.

O’Neill further called on the Opposition to stop confusing the people with mere allegations and have confident in the government.

Meanwhile, the Parliament had been adjourned to 10am tomorrow.
