PNG Petroleum Minister Jimmy Maladina confirmed the government's confidence in the Papua LNG Project after talks in Singapore with TotalEnergies' leadership. The discussions clarified the project's direction and addressed concerns over its timeline.

Following earlier discussions in Davos, the State's engagement with TotalEnergies is aimed at ensuring alignment between partners. The National Petroleum Authority is working to complete the Development Forum and advance licensing processes in preparation for the Final Investment Decision (FID).
