This will be determined at the 2016 Oceania Championships at Fiji in May which is the Olympic qualifier for Rio Games.
Oceania Weightlifting Federation general secretary and regional coach Paul Coffa said no one so far from PNG has qualified on their own merit for the Olympics.
Coffa said although he is very confident that Morea Baru will do so prior to the Oceania Championships and Olympic Qualification event in Suva, Fiji.
Baru won a gold medal in the 62 kg category at the recent 2015 Pacific Games lifting 121kg snatch.
