AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Diplomacy Boost: PM James Marape’s France trip is delivering a big milestone: a new PNG embassy in Paris, announced with President Emmanuel Macron as ties mark 50 years—plus a push on forests, climate resilience and biodiversity. Visa Shock to Budget: PNG’s government is cutting Pacific visa fees and extending visa timeframes, but officials warn it could cost about K1–2 million a year in revenue, with pressure on the immigration system. NRL Bombshell: Andrew Abdo has quit as NRL CEO to become CEO of Tennis Australia, leaving Peter V’landys to run things as interim while the NRL prepares major PNG-linked expansion. Community & Education: Port Moresby marked Pacific Day with hundreds at Sir Hubert Murray Stadium; Rotary and Soroptimist delivered 50 desks to Coronation Primary; and 34 public servants graduated in Kokopo. Business & Industry: Kumul Consolidated is set to buy into Ramu Agri Industries, while PNG Diwai Holdings is urged to start timber processing with one facility before scaling up. Sport Highlights: Tony Mitu Jr won PNG’s bronze at Oceania Wushu in Brisbane; PNG athletics wrapped in Darwin with new national records.
