Marape: Government supports local businesses

PRIME Minister James Marape says the Government supports local businesses, entrepreneurship and innovation.
Marape told guests at the PNG Fashion Week in Port Moresby that he expected “bigger and better things” for the PNG Fashion Week.
He attended the event with wife Rachael.
PNG Fashion Week managing director Philma Kelegai said as the premier national fashion, cultural, creative and social platform in PNG, it was important to “connect with and find synergies and partnerships with other platforms”.
“It made perfect sense to invite the queen of fashion (Ellen Whippy-Knight) in the Pacific,” she said.
“We are excited that she has joined our platform and can’t wait to learn from her and work with her.”
Whippy-Knight was a guest speaker at the event.
“Papua New Guinea is an exciting kaleidoscope of colour and culture and I was excited to see the talent while here at PNG Fashion Week.”
Whippy-Knight has been instrumental in the fashion industry in Fiji and the Pacific creating epic platforms that have positively impacted the Fiji and the Pacific.
