Members of the Australia-PNG Business Council (APNGBC) returned to Port Moresby today satisfied at the potential to invest in Bougainville after having met with Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) and the business community leaders yesterday in Buka.
Led by chairman of APNGBC Peter Taylor, the team spent yesterday learning from and exchanging views with the Bougainville government and business representatives on what the opportunities are of doing business in the autonomous region.
Taylor, who was emotional when he stepped on Bougainville soil for the first time since 1987, said he was very honoured to be back in Bougainville upon the invitation of ABG president John Momis.

He said he had not imagined that he would be returning to Bougainville leading a business delegation.
He added that APNGBC had set a precedent by sending a team for the first time to Bougainville or any other province in PNG.
Taylor said it was wonderful to hear the ABG leaders and the local business community repeat Momis’ invitation that Bougainville is open for business.
Taylor was accompanied by 19 other members who he described as the ‘A’ team as they fairly represented Australian investors in banking, mining, tourism, trade and industry and exploration.
He added that the visiting delegates were very important for the betterment of Bougainville.
