Sir Julius welcomes project

NEW Ireland Governor Sir Julius Chan has welcomed the signing of the contract to upgrade the Kavieng Airport.
The signing was between the National Airports Corporation (NAC) and the China Railway Construction Engineering Group (CRCEG) at Government House in Port Moresby on Tuesday.
Sir Julius said the project was to upgrade Kavieng Airport to an international airport that would attract tourists into the region.
“We will begin to receive direct flights from around the region and, indeed around the world which would open up New Ireland to a level of tourism and commercial relationships unheard of,” Sir Julius said.
