Kia ora, bula, kia orana, talofa and welcome to Two Palagi in a Pisinisi Pod with Glen Murphy and Dave Dewar. In this episode we recap Papua New Guinea Investment Week and discuss the major announcements shaping business across the Pacific.

Highlights include the Puk Puk Treaty, Australia’s $600 million commitment to Papua New Guinea’s new NRL team, visa changes to boost tourism, and updates on major resource projects including Papua New Guinea LNG. We also touch on the Asian Development Bank's economic outlook for the Pacific and the region’s climate-related risks.

Connectivity is a key theme: Google’s planned subsea cables and data centre plans promise lower data costs and improved resilience. We close with a look ahead to Austrade’s Pacific trade commissioner roles and a preview of next week’s guest, Craig Strong from BSP Life.
