APEC Senior Finance Officials’ Meeting

The two-day meeting, which commenced on Thursday June 7, discussed the policy priority on promoting inclusive growth through structural reform.

A lot of discussions were focused on advancing infrastructure development financing, inclusive growth and tax incorporation.

On the first day, the Senior Finance Officials talked about global and regional economic and financial outlook, including key issues and risks for APEC economies and appropriate policy responses.

Sir Peter however, exclusively told this newsroom that Madang has never been getting good media attention on what is happening in the province.

“The image of Madang has suffered very much over the past years.”

He said Madang deserves better as it is a very beautiful province in the country and such bad publicities cannot help in terms of tourism benefits to the province.

“I was very happy for the Prime Minister, who kept his promise and allowed for the APEC meeting in our province.”
