Governor Sir J said his Government wants to work with serious partners in developing the Province and change the mindset of New Irelanders and Papua New Guineans by the words of the Chinese Proverb, ”A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step,” and this is one of the punchlines that the New Ireland Government is taking to develop a truly autonomous province in Papua New Guinea.
