Women in Business Expo

Since the opening of the Women In Business Expo Trade Centre last Thursday, young women and mothers have flown in from all over the country to come in and showcase their handmade products.

These include soaps, shampoos, hand crafted jewelry, meri blouses, bags and caps made from bilums and materials, artifacts to flower arrangements, traditionally cooked delicacies and many more.

PNG Loop caught up with Agnes Kaupa from Eastern Highlands who specialises in flower arrangements for events and occasions.

Speaking at the opening of the expo Women in Business president Janet Sape told the women that it is their chance in showcasing PNG through the expo.

"It is our time as we will be showing what we have to our Pacific Island countries who are in the country for the Pacific Games."

She said for us to be known, the expo is the venue to start with.

The expo was officially opened by Prime Minister Peter O'Neill.
