PNG PM Marape Pushes Green Economy Vision

Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister, James Marape, talked about his country's plan to become a green economy.

He said PNG wants to use its forests and oceans to help reduce carbon footprints, making it a country with a negative carbon footprint.

This means PNG wants to absorb more carbon than it emits, which is good for the environment.

The Prime Minister was speaking at a big investment meeting in Sydney, Australia.

He also mentioned that PNG is focusing on more than just mining and oil.

They are now looking at farming, fishing, making things, building, and tourism.

Australia's Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, also spoke.

He said Australia wants to keep being a good economic partner with PNG.

They trade many things, not just raw materials, and Australia invests in projects that create jobs and support local businesses in PNG.
