In a first statement Mr. Sturm said: "The ESBC are very proud to support the ongoing process of restoration of mining in Bougainville. The reopening of the Panguna-mine by BCL will soon bring a lot of work and money to the island and all Bougainvilleans will take profit of that.
We invite the ABG and President Kabui to work together with us on the solution of the outstanding problems."
