Political leaders, including Australia’s Scott Morrison, will arrive in Papau New Guinea for the Asia Pacific Economy Co-Operation Summit this week.
APEC accounts for approximately two billion people, with 21 countries being involved in 180 meetings. The summit aims to improve international relations and to forge new foreign policy with neighbouring countries.
Papau New Guinea intends to spend $330 million dollars over three years paying for the event, with significant funds going towards new infrastructure.
