For years, rugged terrain and infrastructure gaps left Papua New Guinea (PNG) struggling with economic isolation. But a wave of China-PNG collaboration is changing the game 🎯. After joining China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the South Pacific nation is seeing transformative projects connect communities like never before.
🚧 CGTN reports local residents are celebrating newly built railways, praising how these links boost trade and access to schools. One local told reporters: \"Before, our village felt cut off. Now, my children can reach hospitals faster.\"
As the first Pacific country to sign a BRI pact with China, PNG’s progress highlights how cross-border partnerships are tackling development hurdles 🌏. With smiles all around, it’s clear: infrastructure isn’t just about steel tracks—it’s about bridging futures.
