The Papua New Guinea (PNG) investment Conference 2019 is organized and conducted by Business Advantage Internal (BAI) - a publishing and marketing business based in Melbourne, Australia.
BAI sent invitation to both VIPA and the Ministry requesting their interest to attend this special promotional event. The DG for the Ministry, Mr. JOY proposed VIPA and the Ministry should attend the conference.

The VIPA Board approved (via emails and board meeting of 16/8) Vanuatu’s participation and that all costs will be paid out of the VERP funds.

Vanuatu’s delegation of 3 senior officials to the conference departed on 18/8 and returned on 21/8.

The delegation’s participation is timely and without doubt a very exciting and rewarding experience. Essential take aways by the delegation have been noted and will be presented to the VIPA Board upon return.
