Prime Minister Peter O&rsquO’Neill who visited the Games Village, Sir John Guise Stadium and the Taurama Aquatic Centre, encouraged Papua New Guinean athletes to do their best and make the country proud. With the facilities being upgraded to the best in the region for the Games, the government has done their part and Team PNG athletes should do the same.
