This year will be a defining year for Papua New Guinea, Prime Minister Hon. Peter O’Neill has stated.
"2015 is a year when our national economy will reach a new level of growth and development, despite some strong headwinds from the global economy,” Prime Minister Hon. Peter O’Neill told the Leaders Summit in Port Moresby last Thursday. "2015 will also be the year when we host significant regional events including the Pacific Games and Pacific Islands Leaders’ Forum.” "In 2015 we will celebrate 40 years of our nationhood." "And 2015 is also a year where the core policy areas of our Government, such as free education, better health care, stronger law and order, better infrastructure and stronger economy will take much deeper root around our nation." Prime Minister Hon. Peter O’Neill said there had been a massive rollout of infrastructure nationally, from large infrastructure projects such as the Lae Tidal Basin, the Kookaburra flyover in Port Moresby, through to the construction of new classrooms, bridges, jetties and airports in rural locations. "We have been a part of the expansion of our free education program that has placed more than two million children in schools,what a tremendous boost that will be for our nation as these children grow and enter the workforce." He said this government had been a part of the delivery of universal healthcare and the upgrade of many hospitals and many housing programs around our nation that are saving lives and keeping families together. "We have been a part of the improvement of law and order that has come from an improving economy, and very importantly, from a better resourcing and a more structured approach to policing, correctional services and the justice sector in our country.” "We have been part of a team that is building a strong economy, growing at a steady rate over the years.” Prime Minister Hon. Peter O’Neill said a lot more work needs to be done but the government is on the right track with clear sense of direction with achievable policies.
