Papua New Guinea now has a formal representative in Samoa with the appointment of Lei’ataualesa Daryl Clarke as Honorary Consul.
Kostas Constantinou, Managing Director of the Lamana Group, responsible for the Taumeasina Island Resort development, was commissioned by the Papua New Guinea government to formally present the Consular Commission to Leiataualesa.
Mr. Constantinou has been in Samoa to mark the first anniversary of the ground breaking of the Resort.
“It is with great pleasure that I am here with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Papua New Guinea NASFUND to mark the one year anniversary of the ground breaking for the Taumeasina Island Resort,” he said.
“I am also delighted to formally present Daryl with his Consular Commission as Papua New Guinea’s Honorary Consul to Samoa.”
“The appointment of an Honorary Consul to Samoa reflects the increasing people to people, government to government and now trade and investment ties between Samoa and Papua New Guinea. Taumeasina Island Resort is a great example of how investment across the Pacific can be done in a Pacific way for the benefit of our people,” said Mr Constantinou.
Papua New Guinea is an expanding economy in the Pacific region with growing regional trade and economic interests.
Significant growth in mining, Liquefied Natural Gas, construction and tourism investment is creating the ability for PNG businesses to diversify their commercial interests offshore.
The appointment of an Honorary Consul to Samoa strengthens the relationship between the countries and facilitates further development opportunities.
In receiving his Commission, Lei’ataua said it is a privilege to be appointed Papua New Guinea’s Honorary Consul to Samoa.
“I would like to extend to the Government of Papua New Guinea my sincere gratitude for this appointment and also my commitment to well and faithfully serve in the role as Honorary Consul,” he said.
The Consular Commission was signed by Papua New Guinea’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration, Rimbink Pato.
