The closing ceremony also coincided with the lowering of the game's flag and handing over to the next host, the Highlands region. Finally, a wrap into the Regional Youth Games, with Madang Governor Ramsey Pariwa closing the ceremony. The games were considered a success as Madang, although known for high petty crimes and the ever-increasing crime rates, took care of over 400 athletes and officials who came in from the other three regions and Port Moresby. Pariwa thanked all the participants who made the event possible.
