The Papua New Guinean Government is looking forward to sending a robust contingent to the 2023 Pacific Games in Solomon Islands.

Prime Minister, James Marape said his government is fully committed to assembling a determined and formidable team of athletes for the highly-anticipated 2023 Pacific Games, scheduled to be held in Honiara.

“We wholeheartedly endorse our team and call upon our athletes, Team PNG management, and the PNG Olympic Committee to prepare diligently, upholding our nation’s honor,” said Marape.

The 2023 Pacific Games will be held in Honiara Solomon Islands, from November 19th to December 2nd, 2023.

When launching the 2023 Prime Minister’s Golf Challenge, Marape announced a fundraising initiative aimed at garnering support for Team PNG in their quest for success at the games.

“The National Government’s commitment to our team heading to Honiara is unwavering. It’s heartening to witness corporate organisations stepping forward to offer their support,” said Marape.

Apart from supporting team PNG, the PNG government deployed a contingent of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary to Honiara to assist Solomon Islands police provide security during the games.
