Prime Minister Anthony Albanese leaves for Port Moresby on Sept. 15 to be part of Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) Golden Jubilee celebrations but also with hopes of returning with a sought-after defence pact with Australia’s closest neighbour.
The PNG is one of only three Pacific nations with its own military, the other two are Fiji and Tonga.
