The Japanese government will provide logistical support for PNG to host the 2018 APEC Summit.
Foreign Affairs Minister, Rimbink Pato, and Japanese Ambassador, Morio Matsumoto, today signed a memorandum of understanding to execute the program.
Under the program, Japan’s assistance will total K13 million to cover logistics for APEC, as well as a component for improving education in rural PNG.
Ambassador Matsumoto said PNG will be hosting a major event and transportation of guests will be important, with the K13 million to help PNG in dealing with the logistical capacity.
