The 2026 Resources Week expects an exciting development starting with forming strong trade ties to accessing global markets with foreign investors to empowering landowners and

local businesses.

The presence of international delegation arriving in numbers to attend the event indicates an important opportunity for the country to boost its global economic profile.

The event will take place at APEC Haus from July 13-18 with key discussions to center around national growth beyond PNG's first 50 years, landownership rights, and supporting the future workforce.
