They were able to make contacts at the highest level with leaders of the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and the United States of America. 

Marape says the four nations are big economies with huge GDP's and we are having high-level discussions based on our long-time bilateral relationship.

''Our meetings and discussions consolidate the relationship and this time our discussions are geared towards us ramping up our production and them receiving whatever we produce.

''The onus is now on us as government to put our money where the mouth is, and to put programs to action to increase production of cocoa, oil palm, coffee and fisheries and not just Gold, Copper and Gas,'' said Marape.
