The National Cultural Commission (NCC) calls on Papua New Guineans to preserve and safeguard their diverse cultural heritage for future generations.
NCC acting executive director Casper Damien says people must develop, promote and protect the contemporary cultures of PNG.
He says NCC aims to develop and promote sustainable creative cultural and artistic events capable of maximising social and economic benefits.
There must be increased participation and genuine involvement of people in their cultural and community events, emphasises the acting director.
Damien says it is time NCC goes out to the provinces to fully participate and support cultural events, and provide strong cultural programs to protect and promote PNG’s diverse culture.
