POLICE in Port Moresby are urging the people to help keep the city clean as it prepares to host world leaders in November for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders’ summit.
National Capital District Metropolitan Superintendent Perou N’rdanou told the people at Morata Stage One that the meeting would benefit the country.
“By hosting Apec, Papua New Guinea will get a lot of exposure internationally for people who didn’t know much about the country,” N’dranou said.
“People will better understand the sorts of trade, tourism and investment opportunities that exist here. But it all comes back to citizens to make it happen.”
He urged the people to be responsible and follow the law.
PNG women’s community service foundation youth coordinator Maxwell Bill said they work together with police on its awareness programme in the communities.
“This is our home, this is our city and we have to work together to make it happen for the future of our little ones,” Bill said.
