Toktok Bilong Strongim Nesen

The Toktok Bilong Strongim Nesen series of public discussion events gives Papua New Guineans a say on important national issues.

Each event includes a keynote address and a panel discussion that provides a platform for open public engagement with local and international experts, exploring themes and policy issues pertinent to Papua New Guinea and the Pacific.

Toktok Bilong Strongim Nesen builds on the success of the 2018 APEC Discussion Series at the Precinct, which was attended by more than 3,500 people and broadcast on television and radio to a potential audience of four million people.

It is supported by the Papua New Guinea – Australia Partnership and is hosted at the University of Papua New Guinea, a historic home for debates on topics of national importance.
