Port Moresby residents can experience a lineup of Christmas events courtesy of National Capital District (NCD) Governor Powes Parkop and his team from the National Capital District Commission (NCDC) this festive season.
At a recent press conference at Sir Hubert Murray Stadium, Governor Parkop revealed a number of interesting Christmas events residents like the Carols by the Sea, the Whitecember Walk, and the Active City Combined Church Service.
The good Governor said that the Christmas season is a time to spread love, kindness, unity, and peace as we celebrate the birth of Christ the Saviour.
In order to make Port Moresby city a more habitable and peaceful, he welcomed the cooperation of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary, the Body of Christ Alliance, and the Papua New Guinea Council of Churches (PNGCC), all of which have joined forces with his administration to ensure a good festivity period in the capital city.
“As Governor and host, I call for unity, reconciliation, and peace in our city as we prepare to come together on Sunday, 15th December.”
“When we unite and start practicing good deeds, we can fully realize the potential of becoming a better and greater city.”
“Most of us are peace-loving and decent people. By coming together, we can discourage the unethical behaviors of the minority that hinder the city’s development and progress.”
