A strong and prosperous Papua New Guinea (PNG) will help Australia maintain peace and security in the Indo-Pacific, says Prime Minister James Marape.

In a special address to the Australian federal Parliament, ahead of the ASEAN meeting next month, Mr. Marape expressed his deep gratitude to Australia for supporting the Pacific nation’s transition into a more stable, and wealthy nation, while emphasising the need for it to stand on its own two feet.
