The Minister for Foreign Affairs Justin Tkachenko will be representing Prime Minister (PM) James Marape and the people of Papua New Guinea (PNG) at the Coronation of King Charles III. The minister made this announcement after he was given instructions from the PM to represent the country. Minister Tkachenko will be travelling in a few days’ time to join the PNG Governor General, Grand Chief Sir Bob Dadae, who has already left for London as the representative of the King. “We look forward to seeing him and representing Papua New Guinea, because King Charles the third is now the King of Papua New Guinea,” said the minister. “There’s only fourteen realms in the Commonwealth and Papua New Guinea is one of those realms, a very important realm.” The minister said this major event is significant because the United Kingdom (UK) has interest in PNG and the region. “We’ve just had the Secretary General of the Commonwealth come and visit us here in Port Moresby and we also had the UK Foreign Minister, Secretary of State here as well.” “So, it shows you the interest in the region, interest in the pacific, but a traditional partner as well going forward.” The Coronation of King Charles III will take place on the 06th of May in London, England.
