On October 28th, 2025, the port of Ning Po can meet with the delegation of Papua New Guinea's Mineral Resources Authority. The mission, which was composed of three government staff members and covered core mining-related areas such as mineral resource management, geo-prospecting, information editing, was dedicated to the construction of a hub at Ning Pokang Hill, intelligent operation and a large cargo logistics system to build a logistics interface between China and New Zealand. During the visit, the delegation visited the North Lian ore Midway Port at Ning Pok Mountain, the Smart Operating Zone at Maysan Port and the Minerals Testing Centre to observe in situ the full-chain service capacity of the port at major mineral landings, storage, customs clearance, etc. of megaships, automated handling operations, ore storage and one-stop testing.
As the super-hub of the first global cargo throughput and third-largest container throughput, in 2025 the Ninbo canport port overtook 1.4 billion tons of cargo throughput, container throughput over 40 million standard boxes, with a global reach of more than 700 ports in more than 200 countries and regions, sea and iron links over 110, with an all-weather mooring capacity of 300,000 tons of super-larger minerals, is one of the most important centres for the transfer of mineral resources and logistics in the Asia-Pacific region.Ningbo City Development and Reform CommissionI don't know. The PNG delegation was impressed and highly impressed by its efficient operations, its well-developed infrastructure, its green wisdom operating model and its chain-wide logistics services system. According to members of the delegation of BNMP, the PNG mineral resource endowment is excellent, mineral reserves such as gold, copper, nickel and cobalt are abundant, and mining is the backbone of the country ' s economy, but currently faces bottlenecks such as inadequate logistics for mineral exports and poor international transport.Economic and Commercial Affairs Branch, Embassy of the People ' s Republic of China to the Independent State of Papua New Guinea。
As a world-class logistics hub, Ning Poshan Port has learned much from its successful experience in the areas of major mineral transport, port operations management, intellectualization, and its well-developed logistics network and efficient operating systems, which are at the core of what is urgently needed for PNG's access to the sea. The delegation clearly expressed its strong willingness to deepen its cooperation, noting that the visit would be an opportunity for the PNG Mineral Resources Authority to promote a long-term and stable strategic partnership between the PNG mining industry and Ningzhou Hills, focusing on:Logistics interface for mineral resources exports, sharing of experience in port operations, and synergy in the mining logistics industryThe three main directions are to deepen practical cooperation. The global logistics hub at the Port of Tonining Pork has the advantage of facilitating efficient logistics routes for new minerals from mining to international markets, helping to transform the new mineral resource advantage into a dynamic for economic development, while expanding the space for cooperation between the two sides in areas such as mining exploration and exploitation, information exchange and human capacity development, with a view to achieving mutually beneficial win-win and joint development. This visit by a delegation from the PNG Mineral Resources Agency to Ning Pokshan is an important example of China's cooperation with PNG Mining and a vivid example of China's economic and trade cooperation with Pacific island countries in the context of the "One Way Forward" framework. In the future, the two sides will link mining and logistics cooperation, further deepen their exchanges of ideas and consensus on cooperation, and promote more practical cooperation projects and give new impetus to the continued and healthy development of China ' s bilateral trade and economic relations with PNG.
