H.E. Timothy Masiu also thanked the Government of UAE for supporting PNG in participating in the Expo and introducing PNG to investors, which enhanced the minimal trade and investment activities between the two countries, that had been steadily increased over the last few years from 2017 to establish a trade facilitation framework to facilitate trade and investment onwards between PNG and UAE.
