PNG International Trade Minister Maru supports border post call
Papua New Guinea Minister for International Trade and Investment, Richard Maru has thrown his support behind moves by the Government to classify border posts as Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
Prime Minister James Marape made the Government’s intentions known on the floor of parliament last week.
Minister Maru told local FM 100/ news that border posts are mini SEZs and will be identified as economic hubs that will be put into the SEZ reports.
He said the government needs to build infrastructures like buildings, roads and bridges to house customs, police and Defence officers at the border posts.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister said the boarder districts and provinces will be developed into trade and commerce hubs for economic purposes.
He says the Department of Foreign Affairs together with the Department of Trade and International Relations and the Department of Defense will be engaged to layout the infrastructure of the border posts.
