FORUM ENDS WITH ONE MINDSET
By Aloysius Laukai

The two-days Panguna negotiations Forum held at the Hutjena Secondary School Hall this week has strongly recommended that the closed PANGUNA Copper Mine be re- opened with BCL as their first partner.
The Regional forum for the North Bougainville Districts of Buka, Atolls and Nissan ended with all the three districts supporting the reopening of the Panguna Copper Mine by the old partner BCL .
In their seven Points recommendations all three districts said they supported the reopening of the Panguna Copper mine only after a new deal has been negotiated between all parties concerned.
They called on the ABG to make sure all parties are represented when the new deal will be negotiated between the BCL, ABG and the PNG Government and of course the Landowners.
The Division of Mining organized this meeting to get the views from the leaders and people of North Bougainville, Nissan and the Atolls District that includes the islands of Carteret, Motlock , Tasman and Fead Islands. The forum was hailed a success.
Three more forums would be hosted in Central Bougainville and South Bougainville to get the responses from these other districts.The two-day forum was broadcasted live on New Dawn FM, Bougainville's Community Radio Network.
