Echoing Mills’ sentiments, Nihal Shah, Vice President of the Australia Papua New Guinea Business Council, highlighted the forum’s significance as the premier event for networking and business growth in the Pacific region. Shah emphasised that the forum would bring together key players from both business and government across various sectors, making it an ideal venue for forging new business relationships and exploring opportunities in Papua New Guinea.
Both leaders urged businesses interested in expanding their reach within the Pacific and Australia to participate in this critical event. They stressed the importance of seizing the opportunity to engage with a broad spectrum of industry sectors and government representatives to enhance their business prospects in this dynamic region.
Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape will address the Forum. Also two distinguished figures, former Tasmania Premier The Hon Peter Gutwein GAICD, and rugby league icon Malcolm Norman Meninga AM, are set to grace the Forum . Their attendance promises a convergence of expertise from the political and sporting arenas, offering unique insights into business, sustainability, and leadership.
