2004 - 16th Australia PNG Ministerial Forum
In December 2004 the BCPNG co-hosted the 16th Australia PNG Ministerial Forum in Lae.
Resulting from this Forum, we expressed our appreciation to the Governments of Papua New Guinea and Australia for their recognition of the role the business sector, through our Councils, plays in the broader bilateral relationship and economic life of Papua New Guinea.
The business communities we represent share, with Government, the desire to fulfil the aspirations of Papua New Guinea through the development of a diverse and healthy economy.
Only through the development of such an economy can individuals make a choice about their own level of participation in it.
