Pato appointed PNG PM special envoy on foreign relations
Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape has appointed former Foreign Affairs Minister Rimbink Pato as the Prime Minister's Special Envoy on PNG's foreign matters.
Although there were fewer details on this appointment from Prime Minister's office, Rimbink Pato has already performed his task, as the special envoy of PNG's Prime Minister James Marape, attending major international forums in the recent days.
One of the biggest international conference attended was the Pacific Exposition organised by Indonesia in New Zealand last week.
The event focused mainly on Trade, Investment, and Tourism. Foreign Affairs minister Soroi Eoi who accompanied Pato also had the opportunity to confer with his counterparts from Australia, Indonesia, NZ, as well as other Pacific leaders.
Working in co-operation with Minister Eoi, Pato delivered an address on sustainable and equitable growth in the Pacific region.
Meanwhile, as the Special Envoy of Prime Minister James Marape, Pato told the recently concluded Pacific Exposition Forum, that equal involvement of women and girls in any social and economic development is the solemn duty of all governments in the Pacific to ensure nobody is left behind.
Pato told the forum that this is not only a matter of social justice but a matter of economic common sense.
He said if governments don't employ half of its potential brain power it is like to fly an aircraft with one wing.
The former PNG's Foreign Affairs Minister said, the force of globalisation had made the Pacific the focus of the greatest economies on earth, all of whom had discovered its strategic importance and its vast riches, both present and potential.
Pato added to the excitement was the increasing involvement of Indonesia who lived up to its Pacific identity and heritage by organising the Exposition and other recent Pacific forums and dialogue.
