In a show of support for regional legal excellence, BSP Financial Group proudly sponsored the closing dinner of the 44th Pacific Islands Law Offices’ Network (PILON) Annual Meeting.
In partnership with the Department of Justice & Attorney General, BSP has contributed over K100, 000.00 to support this prestigious regional event, to be held from 27th to the 31st of October at the APEC Haus in Port Moresby.
The PILON annual meeting is a cornerstone of legal collaboration across the Pacific, bringing together senior law officers, including Attorney-Generals, Solicitors-General, and Crown Counsels from 19-member countries and territories. The forum promotes discussion, strengthens partnerships, and advances shared legal priorities such as combating corruption, cybercrime, and sexual and gender-based violence.
BSP Head of Retail Branch Network, Peter Komon said BSP hopes it will be a moment of celebration, reflection, and renewed commitment to the values that PILON champions.
“At BSP, we understand that a strong legal framework is essential for sustainable development, economic growth, and social justice. That’s why we are proud to support PILON’s mission and the dedicated professionals who work tirelessly to uphold the rule of law across our region,” Mr. Komon said.
The closing dinner, hosted at the conclusion of the week-long meeting, will serve as a moment of celebration, reflection, and renewed commitment to justice and good governance. BSP’s support highlights its belief that a strong legal framework is essential for sustainable development, economic growth, and social equity.
Secretary for the Department of Justice and Attorney General, Dr. Eric Kwa, PhD, acknowledged and expressed his appreciation to BSP for its generous sponsorship in support of the 44th Pacific Islands Law Offices’ Network (PILON) Annual Meeting.
“This will be the third time Papua New Guinea hosts the PILON Annual Meeting. We are proud to bring PILON to PNG this year as we also celebrate our nation’s 50th Golden Jubilee,” Dr. Kwa said.
“We are expecting around 90 participants — the highest number of delegates ever to attend a PILON meeting. Your support and partnership give us assurance that we are well prepared to host this significant regional event.”
PILON’s annual meeting also provides opportunities for strategic planning, capacity building, and information sharing among member states, which include American Samoa, Australia, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Pitcairn Islands, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tokelau, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.
