Papua New Guinea’s National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC-PNG) is looking to Indonesia to advance its broadcasting capabilities.
Its Managing Director, Kora Nou, met executives of Indonesian government television and radio stations to start the process towards a Memorandum of Understanding, NBC News reports.
The move to look towards Indonesia is in line with the government’s intention to look to PNG’s closest neighbour for economic opportunities.
Nou said PNG and Indonesia shared a land border and it was only fitting for NBC to engage with Southeast Asia’s fastest growing economy to engage and share expertise.
The MoU, in its draft stage, looks at five key areas including capacity building, an exchange program, content gathering and sharing, and transmission and studio equipment procurement and supply.
