I sincerely want to comment on the session today on all the keynoted speakers which was inspiring and educational.Thank you and my appreciation to who ever was behind the successful program today.
I will take it as challenge and look positively into a better economic outlook for the PNG boom regardless of the constraints or limitations that are stopping us from progressing.
Positively, good economic growth would be our way to combat poverty in Papua New Guinea in both urban or rural population settings.
The notable topic is the agricultural Dutch Disease and the question must be answered in a detailed technical approach.
