PAPUA NEW GUINEA Home Who is BI.C What's New Open a Bank Account ... Contact Us Papua New Guinea 'PNG' is located just north of Australia in the Asia-Pacific corridor next to Indonesia. PNG is a developing country rich in natural resources home to a relatively small population of 5.17 million. Since 1997, economic and social conditions have been quite turbulent and challenging at times as Papua New Guinea's economy has technically entered a depression during this time frame. Their national currency, the 'kina' has experienced steady depreciation versus the USD since the government decided to float the currency in 1995. POLITICS: independence in 1975, previous to this date Australia administered Papua New Guinea. There is a sad history of political violence within PNG more recently ending in 1997 after a 9-year secessionist revolt which claimed 20,000 lives. Again during the June 2002 elections, 30 people were killed in political violence. The election outcome resulted in former Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare, the founding father of modern Papua New Guinea of the National Alliance party regaining power and Prime Minister Sir Mekere Morauta of The People's Democratic Movement is now the official opposition. Political risk overall is high as further risk is encountered within the military as mutinies have taken place in protest to defense spending cut backs. In Bougainville, Papua New Guinea in 1988, civil war broke out over ownerhsip of the Giant mine which was a major contributor to PNG's economy. A cease fire was declared in 2001 after thousands have been killed in fighting.

Predicted Great Japanese Earthquake and Possible Tsunami and Nuclear Radiation Spread Across the Pacific Rim Report by Dr. Quentin Reilly Australia / Papau New Guinea 2005-01 posted in NetPac.com Networking the Pacific Last week the United Nations held a World Disaster Conference in Kobe, Japan. One of the exhibits that attracted great interest was a topographical map showing the four great tectonic plates that grind together along Japan's eastern and north western coasts, and the 30 year probabilities they will produce a serious earthquake. The most dangerous line runs along the Pacific seabed off south central Honshu until it turns on to the coast near Shizuoka, 150 km south west of Tokyo. This is where the Eurasian plate subducts or forces itself under itself. The build-ups of tectonic tension releases itself by powerful offshore earth/sea-quakes every 150 years or so and very often cause a huge, fast moving tsunami. The last such quake occurred in 1854 and anther is now overdue. There is now a 90% probability of a quake greater than magnitude 8 occurring off the Tokai coast, which runs form Nagoya to Shizuoka. This means the quake could be of similar size that occurred off the coast of Aceh in Indonesia on December 26 last year [2004] and resulted in a great tsunami, which roared across the Indian Ocean to destroy villages and thousands of lives along the coast of India and Sri Lanka thousands of kilometres away as well as areas nearby to the quake.

Richard Dinnen reports, the leaders met in New Zealand this week, and it's hoped their latest agreement will breathe new life into the peace process. Negotiations on Bougainville's political future have been bogged down for months. This week's meeting near Rotorua, attended by leaders and PNG Prime Minister Bill Skate, may have broken the deadlock. The leaders have agreed to work together, despite their political differences, some of which may be eased by a plan for a more consultative approach to creating a new local government structure on the island. The leaders will have been encouraged by significant offers from the Papua New Guinea Government, mainly the possible lifting of the suspension of the Bougainville Provinciial Government. And one key sticking point appears to have been resolved. The parties have agreed that disarmament should begin immediately, with assistance from New Zealand, under United Nations supervision. c 1999 Australian Broadcasting Corporation Fri Apr 23 09:15:01 1999 ( AEST ) ================================ Factions talk of "lasting peace" on Bougainville Leaders of the Papua New Guinean government and various factions on Bougainville, have committed themselves to continuing the ceasefire on the wartorn island, and to securing a lasting peace.

The leaders have released a communique referred to as the Matakana and Okataina Understanding. In the communique, they pledge to maintain the ceasefire, and work towards a negotiated political settlement of Bougainville's long-term political future. The leaders said a special state negotiator would prepare a package on the powers, functions, structure and status of Bougainville's future government, which would be geared to Bougainville's needs. It was agreed that political leaders would meet to discuss the package no later than June the 30th. c 1999 Australian Broadcasting Corporation Fri Apr 23 09:15:01 1999 ( AEST ) AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time ================================================================= NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us 339 Lafayette St., New York, NY 10012 http://www.blythe.org e-mail: nyt@blythe.org ================================================================= nytpac-04.25.99-12:24:40-7994

MEDIA RELEASE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS ALEXANDER DOWNER FA 48 29 May 97 BOUGAINVILLE PEACE STRATEGY WELCOMED I warmly welcome the announcement today by Acting Prime Minister John Giheno that the National Executive Council of Papua New Guinea has approved a peace strategy for Bougainville. Mr Giheno has said that the strategy was developed at the direction of Prime Minister Sir Julius Chan and is based on wide consultation within the national government, PNG church, NGO and community groups and, particularly, with the people of Bougainville. I congratulate all who have contributed to the strategy. It is my sincere hope that this strategy will initiate a process that will lead to lasting peace. I note that Mr Giheno has stated clearly the PNG Government's belief that there can be no military solution to the conflict. The Australian Government strongly endorses that view. We believe that the resolution of the Bougainville conflict can best be achieved through peaceful negotiation and a spirit of reconciliation. As the Australian Government has consistently stated, we stand ready, if requested by the PNG Government, to support the people of Papau New Guinea in carrying the Bougainville peace process forward.

Papua New Guinea William J. Gilmore-Lehne Many different cultures originated in the islands of Papua New Guinea. Today people go to the islands to find a sense of a world of long ago and a feel for the place of their ancestors. A chief reason is that Papua New Guinea has been inhabited for perhaps 50,000 years by various Asian settler societies. Europeans arrived in the 1520sthe Portuguese explorer Jorge de Menezes. Later (1645), a Spanish explorer, Ynigo Oritz de Rexes, named it New Guinea because of similarities he perceived with people of the Guinea Coast of Africa.

RESOURCES CATALOG Books Films Music ABOUT US David Stanley All Editions Link to Us Support This Site SOLOMON ISLANDS TRAVEL GUIDE One of the last areas of the world to fall under European religious and political control, the Solomon Islands remain today the best-kept secret in the South Pacific. It's all there: shark-callers, war wreckage, gold, and malaria; every Pacific race is present, from blue-black Papuans to chocolate-colored, blond Melanesians, bronze-skinned Micronesians, and fair-complexioned Polynesians. The variety of cultures and customs is striking, and the traditional ways are remarkably alive. Like neighboring Vanuatu, it's a land of contrast and adventure, with jungle-clad peaks, mighty volcanoes, uplifted atolls, crashing waterfalls, mist-enshrouded rainforests, dark lagoons, scattered islands, and brilliant coral reefs. No other Pacific island group has a greater diversity of landforms. Once you figure out where the Solomon Islands actually are and finally get there, you won't wish to leave. Unless you're on a tour, you'll find travel outside the capital, Honiara, an unstructured, make-your-own-arrangements affair. The number of visitors is negligible, and most of those who do come stay only a few days, mainly in the hotels of the capital or scuba diving at Munda, Gizo, or Uepi Island. This gives slightly intrepid travelers an unparalleled opportunity to get well off the beaten track and have a genuine South Sea paradise all to themselves. So you're in for something totally original!

To order raw e-government data, visit http://www.InsidePolitics.org/egovtdata.html Fourth Annual Global E-Government Study Taiwan, Singapore lead U.S. and Canada in Online Government A study of digital government finds that the 198 nations around the world are making steady progress at putting services and information online, but movement forward has been slowed because of budget, bureaucratic, and institutional factors. The United States and Canada rank third and fourth behind Taiwan and Singapore. Providence, RI—A new study of global e-government undertaken by researchers at Brown University shows that 21 percent of government agencies around the world are offering online services, up from 16 percent in 2003, 12 percent in 2002, and eight percent in 2001. The countries of Taiwan and Singapore now lead the United States and Canada in overall e-government performance. The fourth annual survey conducted by Professor Darrell M. West of the Taubman Center for Public Policy at Brown University and a team of researchers measured each country’s on-line presence. The research evaluated government websites on two dozen different criteria, including the availability of publications, databases, disability access, privacy, security, and the number of online services. Previous studies of global e-government were released in 2001, 2002, and 2003. This year's study reviews 1,935 government websites in 198 countries during June, July, and August, 2004. Among the sites analyzed are those of executive offices, legislative offices, judicial offices, Cabinet offices, and major agencies serving crucial functions of government, such as health, human services, taxation, education, interior, economic development, administration, natural resources, foreign affairs, foreign investment, transportation, military, tourism, and business regulation.

Amazon Update: April 1998 No. 35 In Brief: Coalition Office News Greetings to Coalition members, partners, and friends. The U'wa Defense Working Group took out an advertisement in the New York Times on April 14, 1998. It can be found on page A15. The ad, signed-onto by some 30 organizations, is directed at potential investors of Occidental Petroleum Corporation. The Amerindian Peoples Association held their General Assembly April 14-16. The Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN) sent a delegation to participate. SARAMACCA MAROONS SAY NO TO MULTINATIONAL LOGGING IN SURINAME The leaders of twenty-three Saramacca Maroon villages gathered in the community of Pikin Slee on March 13-14 to discuss land rights and the incursions of a Chinese logging company. The leaders stated unequivocally that they were opposed to the operations of Chinese company, NV Tacoma (a.k.a. Tacoma Forestry Consultants) in or near ancestral lands. The leaders stated that they wanted their rights to own and control their ancestral lands, as defined by international human rights law, recognized and respected. Maroons are the descendants of African slaves who fought for and won their freedom from the Dutch colonial regime that ruled Suriname until 1975. They live in Suriname's rainforests, concentrated along the major waterways. The Saramacca are one of six Maroon peoples in Suriname. The present government of Suriname states that it has no legal obligations with the Maroons and does not recognize their rights to own their ancestral lands. Furthermore, it has, or is in the process of granting vast areas of the rainforest to multinational logging companies. These concessions are granted without notifying Indigenous and Maroon communities, nor seeking their participation or approval - even if their villages fall within the concessions. Presently, at least two-thirds of the Indigenous and Maroon communities are either in or very near logging and mining concessions.

An Excerpt from: A Republican Journal of Thought and Opinion: Commensense The Democracy Program and the National Endowment for Democracy a publication of the Republican National Committee December 1983 edition, Volume 6, Number 1, pages 85-121. The Challenge of Democracy: The Republican Response by Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr. It is an often-stated fact of international life that the world and the 'United States' role in it have grown increasingly interdependent in the last 20 years. Scholars, policymakers, and even casual observers have both praised and bemoaned the degree to which events in even the most remote and unlikely areas of the world have an impact on U.S. domestic and international decisions and actions. Within the last two years the icy shores of the Falkland Islands and the desert plains of Chad - and most recently the tiny island of Grenada - have reminded U.S. citizens that we cannot afford the apparent luxury of isolationism. The consequences and benefits of this modern interdependence have spread steadily throughout American society over the past two decades. Under presidents of both parties, U.S. foreign policy and military postures have been crafted around the recognition that in order to enjoy the benefits of a free and prosperous world, the United States must play an active role in helping to secure the freedom and prosperity of the world. This recognition has also been accepted well beyond our national institutions of government. Academic and cultural exchanges have expanded markedly throughout the past 20 years as Americans have sought a greater understanding of and exposure to foreign history, culture, and languages. Similarly, during this period the American business community has adapted steadily to growing international economic interdependence as the world has moved into what many refer to as the Second Industrial Revolution. U.S. business firms, both small and large, have devoted increasing levels of resources and energy to export and import operations, as the world's disparate economies have found themselves drawn into a new era of economic interdependence - a product of, and a contributor to, greater political interdependence.

Printer Friendly Version Email this Article News From Vangold's Papua New Guinea Properties Paul the Benjaminite It has taken a quite a bit longer than expected, but the news of the surveys on Vangold's (75%) and New Guinea Gold's (25%) Feni Island properties is finally out. The incredible potential of the Feni Islands (Ambitle Island) was previously reported on in The Bluest of Blue Sky Potential and in More Bright Blue Skies Over Feni . These reports explained the combination of geological circumstances which could mean that Ambitle Island will turn out to be one of the largest gold deposits in the world, like its sister island, Lihir. But the news is not limited to Vangold's Feni Islands Property! The recent acquisition of Kanon Resources means that Vangold and New Guinea Gold now have a share in seven exciting and prospective land packages in Papua New Guinea. Three drilling programs will be in the news within the next few months on three of these properties with the drills turning first, on the Ambitle Island and Mt. Penck properties, both scheduled to begin within weeks! Ambitle Island Exploration Results As expected, the results from the exploration of the central and southern portions of Ambitle Island have yielded impressive results. Both the biogeochemical survey and the stream panned concentrate surveys were conducted in portions of the "Central Caldera" and the "Old Caldera Zone" on Ambitle Island. (Both "calderas" are actually volcanic craters.)

Nominees will have made exemplary contributions to the Conservancy beyond the nominee's job description, and outside the nominee's own program or functional area. Audrey Benedict Audrey Benedict has served on the Colorado Board of Trustees for seven years. Recognizing the tremendous mutual value that working globally would provide, five years ago Audrey made a plea to the board and staff of the Colorado chapter to focus some of their efforts globally. As a result, the chapter created the "International Committee," which Audrey chaired. Under her leadership, the Colorado Program built partnerships with the Conservancy's country programs in Ecuador, Mexico and Chile and agreed to help fundraise for each of these countries. Audrey and her husband, Jim, have together donated close to $70,000 to the Conservancy's Ecuador Country Program. Because of the inspiration that Audrey Benedict provided, the Colorado Chapter has been able to expand and significantly support conservation programs in the Caribbean, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Papua New Guinea. As if that weren't enough, Audrey has been instrumental in developing and leading many of the naturalist workshops that are currently in their third year at the Medano-Zapata Ranch in Colorado's San Luis Valley.
