Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation

For PNG, translating what APEC is for 80 percent of the rural populace is the challenge that authorities have to overcome if the benefits of hosting the global event are to be achieved.

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, or APEC Summit, is the talk of the year at the national level but what does it mean for the farmer and gardener in rural PNG?

Some burning questions surrounding this concern were raised yesterday evening during the PNG-Australia Alumni Association Yumi Tok-Tok series.

Despite the heavy downpour and storms, Da Nang city is doing all it can to prepare for the opening of the APEC 2017 Summit.

The APEC 2017 High Level Week officially starts today (Nov 6).

However, according to local media, given the current weather conditions, the Central Meteorological and Hydrological Station issued a warning for Da Nang city. It has been rated level 3 on the disaster level scale.
