Western Highlands planning multi-purpose stadium

WESTERN Highlands plans to build a multi-purpose stadium at the Kagamuga Show Ground to promote sports and culture, says Governor Paias Wingti, pictured,
He announced this during the Hagen Cultural Show on Saturday.
Wingti said the province was undergoing some major developments including the re-development of the Kagamuga airport and the four-lane road from the airport to Keltiga.
The next project is the new stadium and a big market at the Togoba road junction for the people of Western Highlands, Southern Highlands and Enga.
Wingti said on top of all that, the provincial government would continue to sponsor the cultural show.
Wingti said culture and tradition lured tourists into the country.
Australian High Commissioner Bruce Davis commended the cultural groups for taking part in the show and keeping their culture and tradition alive.
Davis said culture and tradition were their “identity to the outside world”.
He urged the people to keep their culture and tradition alive.
Chief executive of the Tourism Promotion Authority Jerry Agus committed K50,000 to the Hagen show, saying his office was happy to support provincial governments in promoting culture.
