Prime Minister (PM) has today outlined the key objectives of his visit to Australia before his departure, highlighting economic partnerships, national development, and sports diplomacy.
PM Marape will spend a day in Australia and continue his travel to Solomon Islands.
He made this this known as he departed today from Port Moresby Jackson’s International Airport.
The visit will include engagements with key Australian leaders, financial institutions, and stakeholders who play a vital role in Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) development during the two days visit.
A major focus of his trip is a meeting with Australia’s Governor-General and representatives from Westpac, one of the leading financial institutions.
These discussions aim to strengthen economic cooperation and explore investment opportunities that will support PNG’s economic growth and financial stability.
PM said by enhancing financial ties, the government seeks to create more business and employment opportunities for Papua New Guineans.
Additionally, Marape emphasized the significance of PNG’s inclusion in the National Rugby League (NRL), an initiative that extends beyond sports.
He described the NRL team as a unifying platform for the country, fostering national pride, youth engagement, and economic benefits.
He stressed clearly that the naming and branding of the team, along with the development of a team song, will be a national effort involving public participation.
During the visit, the Prime Minister will also receive important historical documents related to PNG’s journey to independence.
These documents will contribute to national archives and serve as valuable resources for future generations.
The two days visit underscores PNG’s commitment to economic growth, sports diplomacy, and stronger bilateral relations with Australia.
