PAPUA New Guinea has been invited to attend the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Graubunden, Switzerland, from Jan 15-19 next year, says Prime Minster James Marape. Marape said the invitation came from forum founder and executive chairman Professor Klaus Schwab. The forums annual meeting is a global assembly of leaders from government, business and civil society, fostering discussions on the current state of the world and setting priorities for the future. This year’s event is significant as it unfolds amid a “polycrisis” – the convergence of critical issues including climate and biodiversity crises, the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and concerns over the cost of living. The 2024 annual meeting offers an invaluable platform for constructive dialogues and the collaborative pursuit of solutions through public-private cooperation.
Marape said PNG occupied a pivotal role on both regional and global fronts, “blessed with vast rainforest biodiversity and serving as a vital energy supplier to Asia and Japan”. “Our strategic location bridging the East and the West adds to our significance,” he said. “The world is integrated in commerce, trade and financing. “Our global reach must be uplifted for our products to be marketed, for promotion of investments and capital raising etc. “The world is tightly woven together through trade, commerce, and finance. We are committed to expanding our global reach, enabling the marketing of our products, promoting investments, and raising capital.” Marape said PNG’s participation at the 2024 forum signified its growing global influence and its commitment to addressing critical issues.
