MINISTERS and senior Pacific government officials meet in Brisbane, Australia, today (Monday) to discuss national and regional infrastructure plans.
Selected speakers will address key industry issues through a series of panel discussions and presentations.
Industry leaders will engage on key sectors such as energy, urban development, and transport as they gain direct insights into the Pacific’s infrastructure pipeline and dialogue with those shaping national and regional investment agendas.
Simon Gorman, President of Australia-Papua New Guinea Business Council said more than 600 participants were expected from across the Pacific.
“It’s a unique opportunity to meet the region’s key decision-makers all in one place,”Gorman said.
The framework aligns with the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent, ensuring infrastructure supports resilient, inclusive, and sustainable development across the region.
Political and business representatives from 16 Pacific countries, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, and France will be in attendance, along with bilateral partners and multilateral development agencies such as ADB, the World Bank, and UNDP.
