Security Forum calls for peace in Porgera

Prime Minister James Marape and Minister for Mining Sir Ano Pala participated in the forum.

The Security Forum allowed leaders to address escalating law and order issues, and restore peace and order in the Porgera Valley.

The event also allowed leaders and security forces to appeal to warring tribes around the mine area, to stop the fighting as it continues to affect mine operations, businesses and the general livelihood of people.

Prime Minister James Marape said the National Government is working towards reopening the mine this September.
