“All Pacific leaders will be there to attend the conference in Papua New Guinea and also to assist them in hosting the forum.”

On his official tour to Fiji last week, PNG, Prime Minister, Peter O’Neill extended an invitation to Bainimarama to address the APEC CEO’s forum.

O’Neill says this summit will be attended by close to nine thousand delegates from all over the world.

PNG will be hosting the APEC summit in November at Port Moresby where twenty-one countries including the United States, China, Japan, Australia and Russia will take part.

The summit provides an opportunity for CEOs and top business executives to engage in dialogue with Heads of Government and Economic Ministers to discover opportunities and forge connections with businesses around the world.
