The Government of Papua New Guinea plans to open a mission in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the coming year. As a leading and growing economy with GDP of $170Billion in 2013, Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in the Southeast Asia region.
Prime Minister Hon. Peter O’Neill made this comment, following a call with His Excellency Nguyen Xuan Thuy, Vietnam Ambassador to PNG. His Excellency Nguyen Xuan Thuy made the call to the Prime Minister from the Embassy in Indonesia. Prime Minister Hon. Peter O'Neill said Papua New Guinea and Vietnam will develop their relationship further in the coming years. Vietnam provides many opportunities for PNG as an export market, as an investor into PNG, therefore, I am recommending that PNG plans to establish a mission to enhance its trade relations with Vietnam. The Prime Minister also requested Vietnam’s support in PNG’s hosting of the 2018 Asia Pacific Economic Corporation (APEC) summit and support PNG’s ASEAN membership bid. “PNG will work closely with Vietnam in areas of agriculture, tourism and others,” he said. In response, His Excellency Nguyen Xuan Thuy acknowledged PNG’s support to Vietnam in multilateral forums. “Vietnam will support PNG’s request for full ASEAN membership. Vietnam is ready to exchange experience with PNG in hosting major events like the APEC,” he said. Comments are closed.
