The latter area was transferred to Australia in 1902, which occupied the northern portion during World War I and continued to administer the combined areas until independence in 1975. A nine-year secessionist revolt on the island of Bougainville ended in 1997, after claiming some 20,000 lives.

Bougainville leaders have pledged to end political faction fighting and work more closely to determine the island's future. The leaders met in New Zealand this week near Rotorua, with Papau New Guinea Prime Minister Bill Skate. Negotiations on Bougainville's political future have been bogged down for months. Correspondents say 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 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 ) ====================== Bougainville leaders pledge to end political faction fighting Bougainville leaders have pledged to end political faction fighting and work more closely to determine the island's future. 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. Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister Bill Skate and Bougainvillean leaders have been meeting in Rotorua, New Zealand, to discuss disarmament and the future governance of Bougainville. 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

The former prime minister's decision to establish diplomatic links with Taiwan in return for financial support has been deemed invalid a face-saving way of effectively cancelling the deal which caused a diplomatic storm when it was announced three weeks ago. After careful examination of what Bill Skate did in Taiwan, the new Prime Minister, Sir Mekere Morauta, says the deal was unauthorised, invalid and will not proceed. This report from Richard Dinnen in Port Moresby.

Former PNG PM calls Taiwan deal a desperate act PRINT FRIENDLY EMAIL STORY PM Archive - Tuesday, 6 July , 1999 00:00:00 Reporter: Michael Brissenden COMPERE: The former Papau New Guinea Prime Minister, Sir Julius Chan, says Bill Skate's decision to recognise Taiwan is the act of a desperate man. Sir Julius says Taiwan has been seeking recognition for many years. He says he himself declined many offers of financial assistance from Taiwan in exchange for official recognition. PNG's former leader says he is sure any future government will rescind the decision but as he told our reporter, Michael Brissenden, he believes the decision will undermine PNG's international reputation, and Australia has good reason to be concerned. SIR JULIUS CHAN: We do have real financial trouble and I think it is self inflicted because when he took office from me I handed over a very comfortable economic and financial situation for him. And there has been total abuse in the last few years. I think they're using all kinds of excuses of calamities to justify this abuse. When you look at it properly, there is no control whatsoever in the economic management of the country.

39. Commonwealth Business Council - Country Report papau new guinea has registered sharp swings in economic performance over the past ten years The government’s budget deficit declined from 2.2% of GDP in 1999 http://www.cbcglobelink.org/cbcglobelink/country/PapuaNewGuinea/cr.htm

CBC Home Countries Home CBC Country Report Papua New Guinea Basic Facts Country Report CBC Members Links Country Report Economy Subsistence and cash-crop farming support 80% of the workforce, contribute 26 % of GDP and account for 25% per cent of exports. The main cash crops are coconut, copra, palm oil, tea, cocoa, coffee and rubber. Coffee production is in decline but provides the main source of income for much of the population; there are 280,000 smallholder growers, 660 large farmers, 65 large plantations, 18 registered exporters, and 51 registered processors. Papua New Guinea has sizeable reserves of oil and gas. The Kutubu oil project in the southern highlands accounts for about a third of export earnings. Newly-discovered oil fields yet to come on-stream include Moran, which may prove to be even larger than Kutubu, and Gobe. An oil refinery is being built near Port Moresby. Two large natural gas reserves has been discovered in the Gulf of Papua, and a smaller one at Hides, near Porgera. In 1999, the government signed gas sales agreements for a PNG/Queensland gas pipeline project (under construction at a cost of more than $2bn), in which Chevron and other energy companies are participants. The small manufacturing sector carries out agro-processing for export and small-scale manufacture or assembly for domestic sale. Manufacturing accounts for about 7% of GDP but is central to the policies of diversifying the economy away from nonrenewable resources, stimulating growth and providing jobs. Specific industries encouraged include clothing, textiles, leather goods, food, timber products, footwear, chemicals, plastic products, paper products, and automotive parts.
