Prime Minister Hon. Peter O'Neill has reaffirmed that the China Railway Company (CRC) will commence building the Waigani Convention Centre by the end of this month.
He said works had ceased after the Chinese contractors were physically assaulted by youths at the building site in Port Moresby, mid last year. "The PNG Government has reassured the Chinese Government that it will beef up and provide additional security (police) presence at the site, in order to have the building ready by 2018. "The Chinese Government has agreed to resume the construction of the centre, to cater for the APEC Leaders' Summit in 2018," Prime Minister Hon. Peter O'Neill announced. He said this is a very important asset for PNG and should be appreciated by the people of PNG. "I have directed the Police Minister to beef up police units to provide additional security for these builders day-in day-out. "The Government will be working very closely with the Chinese Government to ensure that its projects in Port Moresby as well as throughout the country, will are completed without any hindrances," Prime Minister Hon. Peter O'Neill said. He also urged youths roaming the streets and causing nuisance as such in society to refrain from getting involved in criminal activities and use their energy to do something productive for themselves and the community.
