Guinea. Located in the western part of the South Pacific Ocean, PNG is more
than 600 islands. The natural scenery is like paradise, and the local customs is
fascinating. Papua New Guinea's tropical forests cover 86.4% of land area, tuna
resources account for 20% of the world's reserves, and gold and copper
production ranks among the top in the world. In recent years, the local government
has concentrated on economic development and achieved positive economic growth
for 15 consecutive years. Today, PNG is one of the largest tuna processing countries in
the world. PNG is focused on the development of oil and gas resources, and the
country has successfully entered the ranks of natural gas exporters.

China's largest trading partner and largest investment partner in the Pacific
island countries. China has always provided support to promote the independent
development of Papua New Guinea. From local infrastructure construction to the construction of
schools, from guiding people to planting fungi to growing wheat, from providing
free medical treatment to medical teams to cooperative development of mineral
projects, Chinese elements can be seen everywhere in PNG. The friendship
story between the two countries is spread around the Pacific island countries.
