Policy Pillar 6.2 Attract Foreign Investment and Partnership
PNG is part of a global community. Since independence in 1975 our first Prime Minister, Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare adopted a foreign policy; friends to all and enemies to none and other successive governments led by Sir Julius Chan, look North Policy with developed and industrialised countries in the Asian Region, and Paias Wingti, look north and walk the Pacific Way. The recent O’Neil Government focused its foreign policy on strategic alliance, bilateral and multilateral relations with donor agencies and countries in the Oceania Region, Asia, the European Union member countries and others.
The Peoples Party Policy takes into account the modernization of PNG in engaging with foreign governments diplomatically to bring tangible development and improve the living standard of our citizens. With our limitations in mainly technology, human resource and capital to exploit vast natural resources, we need our foreign partners.
Peoples Party wants to engage meaningfully and invite genuine foreign governments and investor through joint venture partnership with the local people of this country in developing our country in those sectors where we need them. In this way, our indigenous people will have ownership over their resources, feel proud about their identity and culture and have respect towards foreign governments and investors.
