Senior officials from the Governments of Papua New Guinea and Australia have met today (May 3rd) to discuss the Regional Resettlement Arrangements (RRA), following the 26 April 2016 ruling by the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea and ongoing cooperation to counter people smuggling within the region.
Australia and Papua New Guinea undertook to work cooperatively to ensure the Papua New Guinea Government was compliant with the 26 April 2016 decision of the Supreme Court. To that end, the two Governments agreed to continue to work together on a roadmap that would ensure the Papua New Guinea Government’s compliance with the Court’s orders. The Governments of Papua New Guinea and Australia will continue to work closely together and meet regularly in the coming weeks in support of achieving these outcomes. Regional cooperation remains vital to combating the scourge of people smuggling and the resulting tragic loss of life of people at sea. Papua New Guinea and Australia have a long history of cooperation on many fronts and the current discussions are continuing in this spirit. Comments are closed.
