Tourism Arts and Culture Minister Tobias Kulang

Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Tobias Kulang has challenged the recently appointed Board members to take the opportunity and have creative ideas to rebuild NCC.

The Board was appointed this month and is chaired by Chief Secretary Isaac Lupari and comprises of eight members from a range of fields.

The Board was sworn in on Wednesday, December 21 for a three year term.

Kulang said that in his last three months as Minister, he will work with the board to transfer what he believes should be a focus for their term in office.

More than 40 tourists were also there, at the Mt Hagen cultural show.

The event boasted colourfully adorned bodies and rich traditional attires. Dancers swayed to the beat of their kundu (hand) drums, making it difficult for onlookers to pick a group to watch.

The two-day show ended on a high note, although there were a few hiccups towards the end of the peaceful cultural celebrations.

The event was facilitated by the National Cultural Commission (NCC).
