“Mr Chairman, as we move forward, let us remind ourselves that it has taken 32 years since the unfolding of events in Bougainville, and 21 years since the signing of the Bougainville Peace Agreement and a further 2 years since the declaration of the Referendum Results. The message is clear – this long journey must end sooner rather then later!! I look forward to reaching agreement on a way forward from here on.” Hon. Ishmael Toroama, AROB President, Papua New Guinea.
