China has lost significant ground in our region

By Jeffrey Wall - posted Friday, 17 February 2023

Our regional diplomacy in recent months has delivered some very good results. China has lost ground.

But we cannot assume it won't refocus- I suspect it will focus on economic opportunities to do so.

Our diplomatic efforts have delivered.

The focus must now be on economic links......and especially greater business engagement.

It's one area we just not have not done enough in. A window of opportunity has opened up.

Business and investment must not be neglected as we build on our success, not just in PNG but across the region.
