On behalf of my Government and the people of Papua New Guinea, it is mygreatest pleasure to extend my warmest congratulations on this momentous
occasion of the 20th Anniversary of the APEC Voices of the Future Program.
I am very honored that the APEC Voices’ 20th Anniversary Commemorative Book
will be officially launched in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea during the APEC
Week in November 2018. I am very pleased to help you celebrate the incredible
and amazing journey of APEC Voices of the Future from its humble beginnings in1998 to its status as the official youth program of the annual APEC Summit.
The fact that the APEC Voices of the Future has grown from a mere 30 young
leaders in 1998 to more than 150 young leaders bears testament to the visionof each successive host over the years who have supported the program. Youngleaders who have participated in the APEC Voices of the Future Program
have benefitted and are making strong contributions within their respective
economies, paving the way for the future. They also maintained friendly relations
with their counterparts from the different economies, which is vital in developing
an integrated and interconnected global community.
The 20th Anniversary is an important milestone in the history of APEC. Overthe past twenty years, the APEC Voices of the Future Program has thrived andprospered in the hands of the committee that has worked tirelessly to provide
opportunities and platforms for the youths of the Asia-Pacific. By working together
with the Host Economy, ABAC and APEC Voices Leadership Council, I believe that
the APEC Youth Program will continue to go from strength to strength, shaping
and developing the Asia-Pacific Region’s future decision makers. I am confident
that the program will continue to grow in its reach and influence, enabling moreyoung leaders in the region to understand the mission that APEC has set out toachieve.
I am certain that the APEC Voices Program in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
will be an excellent platform that will reach greater heights in the years to come.
I wish everyone in the program every success for the next 20 years and beyond.

3MessageThis year marks the 20th anniversary of APEC Voices of the Future, a program thathas enabled young people to connect with one of the most important gatheringsof the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies.
APEC was formed with the goal to support sustainable economic growth andprosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. The basis of APEC has always been unity
through dialogue and cooperation, and through our initiatives, we turn policy
goals into concrete results and agreements into tangible benefits that APEC
Member Economies can all reap. APEC has developed to become an essential
forum for economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific. Over the decades we havewitnessed tremendous growth and prosperity in the region. However, as we look
into the future, we face new challenges ahead that cannot be solved by just us
alone. There is a need to involve earnest members of other sectors of our society,such as the youth, to contribute their ideas, innovation, and solutions for facing
future problems.
APEC Voices of the Future is an important platform that allows young people fromthe 21 APEC Member Economies to engage government and business leaders
on cross-cutting issues relevant to APEC. It is encouraging to see how many ofthese APEC Voices delegates have benefitted from this youth leadership programand have stepped up to become youth ambassadors of APEC in their respective
capacities.
I thank them for their vision, commitment and the assurance they bring that the
Asia-Pacific’s future remains bright.

Message2018 is a special year for the APEC Voices of the Future. It is also Papua New
Guinea’s first-ever hosting of this very dynamic regional group as we celebrate
the APEC Voices of the Future’s 20th anniversary since its inception in Malaysia
two decades ago. This is a remarkable journey, that sets forth to bring together
young people of the Asia-Pacific to be in a conversation of a wider scope of
networking and most importantly, prosperity for our region’s future.
The Voices of the Future journey is a story designated by the principles of APEC asa means of developing friendships, to learn from best practices and experiences,and to give opportunities to prosper. Papua New Guinea’s APEC 2018 Policy
theme of Harnessing Inclusive Opportunities, Embracing the Digital Future, is
one that entails youth-friendly dialogues, that the unheard are heard, that the
young voices reach out to the masses. APEC is a catalyst of great minds coming
together, to connect, and to build a region of seamless trade, through policy
interactions and dialogue, and develop friendships to give each of its twentyone (21) economies the opportunities of growth, inclusivity, sustainability, andeconomic empowerment.
In the twentieth year of the APEC Voices of the Future, Papua New Guinea is looking
forward to ensure that the young people of the 21 APEC Member Economies are
greatly enabled to notice how important trade is as a tool for development.
I believe they will be the future of the APEC, giving hope and opportunities, for
the Asia-Pacific to be the jewel of the world.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Papua New Guinea, this year’s host of the2018 APEC Leaders’ Summit. As APEC Voices of the Future delegates, you will havethe opportunity to participate in the APEC CEO Summit, which is an important
platform for summit leaders to discuss critical issues and engage in interactive
dialogue to formulate policies that promote sustainable and inclusive growth.
The APEC theme for this year, “Harnessing Inclusive Opportunities, Embracing theDigital Future” seeks to drive APEC’s collective work on growth and connectivity,and brings to the fore discussions on the digital future that APEC beyond 2020
can embrace. This year, in line with the overarching APEC theme, ABAC adopts
the theme “Digitization and Innovation – Advancing Social Harmony”, withthe 2018 work program focusing on the five priorities: accelerating regional
economic integration, sustaining, developing and deepening inclusive growth
opportunities, creating opportunities for MSMEs to prosper, strengthening thefinancial systems to secure stable growth, investment and inclusiveness, breaking
barriers to enrich society by advancing technology.
We live in an interconnected world. It is through coordination and open markets
between APEC Member Economies can we reap the benefits of regional
economic integration. The digital age also provides many growth opportunities
that businesses and economies can leverage on; however leaders must ensurethat the infrastructure and human resources can keep up with the times, which
also includes the development of future-ready skills.
Young people like yourselves play an important role in APEC’s vision for the
future. I hope that you will seize the opportunity to learn as much as you canfrom the APEC and business leaders and from your fellow APEC Voices delegates.
Help create the future of the region with your enthusiasm and energy. You are thefuture of APEC and the world.
Once again, a warm welcome to Papua New Guinea. I wish you a fruitful andunforgettable experience of a lifetime.

Message
Celebrating our 20 years of innovative leadership in APEC educational diplomacy
is an endless ocean of thanksgiving for the many APEC Economic Leaders, ABAC
Members, CEOs, Leadership Council Members and Annual Hosts who have cocreated and developed our programs.
Similarly, I can think of no better tribute to ASEAN’s formative role in our mission
than to celebrate our young legacy with the economic leader who started it all –His Excellency, The Honourable Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, Prime Minister of
Malaysia and with our Co-Chair from Singapore, Mr James Soh, and the National
Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) Council of Singapore.
In 1998, in the midst of financial challenges to the region, H.E. Prime Minister
Mahathir chose to enrich and personalize the APEC Vision by having his students
and educators host over 30 peers from around the Pacific Rim in the first Voicesof the Future program. Ten years later, when I was diagnosed with cancer thatmade it impossible for me to continue in my executive role, Mr Soh and his teamfrom the NYAA Council became our wise and creative navigators, taking us far
beyond our first charts in both learning and leadership.
Mindful that listing more co-creators and innovators may disappoint the many
not named and for whom my admiration and thanksgiving stretches far beyond
the corners of this page, please allow me to thank by economy the APEC Voices
leaders and campuses in New Zealand, Brunei, Mexico, Chile, Canada, Korea,
Vietnam, Peru and China for all you did to help launch this program in theearly days. In the USA, the President’s Export Council, Helms Center, Iowa State
Education Association and Richard W. Riley Institute at Furman University were
our first teammates.
By the hard work of our Papua New Guinea hosts, all of you participating in thisyear’s program will be adding your voices and energy to better the stewardshipof the still evolving epic of 21st century globalization, increasingly informed by
Asia-Pacific leadership. Please honor this gift and responsibility by your giving
it your best during the APEC Voices program 2018 in Port Moresby, Papua New
Guinea.

MessageFor 20 years, the APEC Voices of the Future program has sought to bring out
the best of our young leaders in the Asia-Pacific region. With half of the world’s
population under the age of 30, young people play an important role in shaping
the world’s economy. It is therefore important that we empower and equipthem with knowledge, starting from the Asia-Pacific region, in order to create asustainable future for all.
The APEC Voices of the Future program was launched in 1998 by visionary leaders
who foresaw the importance of the regional grouping. Through the program,young people from the 21 APEC Member Economies who share a keen interestin economics, finance and trade can come together, deepen their knowledge
and spark potential cooperation for the betterment of the Asia-Pacific region asa whole.
Over the last 20 years, the APEC Voices founding members have worked
tirelessly to provide young people a platform for learning, engagement andmost importantly, to establish a solid network within the region. By engaging
APEC policy makers, business leaders and government officials at the annual
event, young leaders from the Asia-Pacific region can grow to become strong,connected leaders of tomorrow, well positioned to cooperate and create a betterworld, not just in the Asia-Pacific region.
We are blessed that my team and I had the privilege of working and tapping thewisdom and experience of the Voices of the Future founding members to find
new ways to improve and strengthen the program which will benefit a wider
group of young leaders from the region. We are confident that we will continue
to build on the solid foundation laid by our pioneers to further enhance our joint
partnership and collaboration while contributing to the wider youth sector in the
Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
Our gratitude and heartfelt thanks to my team at the National Youth Achievement
Award Council of Singapore for their outstanding leadership and contributions intaking the Voices program to greater heights.
I hereby wish the APEC Voices of the Future many more fruitful years ahead

Logo Interpretation
The logo is designed in line with this year’s theme of “Harnessing Inclusive
Opportunities, Embracing the Digital Future.”
The logo, which resembles a sun, signifies a new era of the younger generationof leaders embracing change in this modern world of technology. The coneshell in most Papua New Guinean cultures signifies calling of great meetings
to communicate important messages to the general public. In this context, it
signifies a call out to the world’s promising next leaders to take ownership ofchange. The seashell also represents the Oceanian Economy of Papua New
Guinea, and the exotic natural environment in this beautiful island nation.
Red, black and yellow are the colours of the Papua New Guinean flag, since this is
PNG’s first time ever to host the world’s APEC Summit, the colours symbolise theiridentity and hospitality to all the APEC member economy states.

PORT MORESBYPort Moresby is the capital and largest city of Papua New Guinea (PNG). The city ison the shores of the Gulf of Papua. Its population is around 300,000 and growing
quickly. The indigenous people of the area are the Motu-Koitabu. Moresby, as it iscommonly known, got its name from Captain John Moresby who arrived in 1873
as the first European visitor.
The city is quite spread out. The original colonial settlement was by the sea andthis is still the port area, as well as the main business and banking district. On
the hills above are upmarket residences. Closer to the airport, separated fromthe original town by hills, is Waigani, a 1970s development built to house theGovernment offices of the newly Independent (September 16, 1975) country of
Papua New Guinea. Nearby are the housing areas of Boroko and Gordons, which
also contain most of the large stores.
Port Moresby is the main point of entry into Papua New Guinea for air-traffic andmost of the boat-traffic.

PNG LNG PROJECT LNG PLANT

The LNG Plant is located 20 kilometres northwest of Port Moresby, at Caution Bay
on the south coast of PNG’s Central Province.
The LNG Plant receives natural gas from the Hides Gas Conditioning Plant througha 700-kilometre pipeline.
The LNG process involves removing impurities and cooling the gas down to atemperature cold enough to turn it into liquid form. Once achieved, the LNG
moves to specialised storage tanks. From there, the LNG goes through a pipeline
connected to the jetty where it loads onto LNG carriers. These ships then export
the LNG to the international market.
In 2017 the operations produced 8.3 million tonnes of LNG, an increase of 20
percent from the original design specification of 6.9 million tonnes per annum.
Condensate, a low-density mixture of hydrocarbon liquids recovered through thegas liquefaction process, is also stored and loaded onto tankers for export at the
LNG Plant.
Main LNG Plant facilities include:••••

Two LNG process trains
Two 160,000 cubic metre LNG storage tanks
Marine loading terminal for LNG tankers up to 215,000 cubic metres
Camp facilities, including accommodation and amenities, administration
office medical centre, emergency helipad and sports and recreation
centre.

The June Mayne Gould Leadership Award
for
APEC Voices of the Future

June Mayne Gould began her Asia Pacific journey in Golden Square, Bendigo, Australia,
in 1919. She was the second child of a family grown from two generations of miners,
who worked in the Australian gold mines, and teachers, who came to help build theschools and churches in this booming town that helped build the State of Victoria.
Growing up in Port Melbourne, June soon found she had the call of the sea in herheart and trained for surf lifesaving, receiving many certificates and awards for her
achievement. All these and more led her to travel in Oceania and the greater Asia
Pacific as an adult, settling in Long Beach, California, a major port town like Melbourne,
to raise her family.
Although June did not have a formal education herself, due to the lack of family
finances and the onset of the second World War, the home schooling and mentoring
she received from her grandmother, aunt and mother, who were all top teachers intheir towns, made her a keen observer of world events and a constant and vigorous
encourager of all those around her to do their best. She was always happy to help
people in need. Throughout her 30 plus years as a retail manager in the States, June
mentored many young female executives who, like her, rose through the ranks of thelarge department store chain they worked for.
June’s generosity in letting her son, Noel Gould, Founding Member and Co-chair, APEC
Voices Leadership Council, use a good portion of her modest retirement savings to
help develop the Voices of the Future for APEC, helped to establish the program’s firstyears in Malaysia (1998), New Zealand (1999) and Brunei (2000). Thanks to the financial
contribution of June, the Voices of the Future for APEC has gone from strength tostrength and is known today as APEC Voices of the Future.
The June Mayne Gould Leadership Award for the APEC Voices of the Future, which waslaunched at the APEC Voices 2011 in Honolulu, is named in honor of June Mayne Gouldfor her immense contributions in the development of youth leaders in the 21 APEC
Member Economies and will be presented annually to an outstanding student who
has demonstrated sincere, positive, encouraging, helpful character and leadership
throughout the APEC Voices Week, greatly contributing to the program by helping
other students do their best and get the most out of their APEC experience.
The recipient of the June Mayne Gould Leadership Award will receive an APEC Voices
Scholarship, where the award winner will have the opportunity to participate in thefollowing year’s APEC Voices program.
