Prime Minister Hon. Peter O’Neill has met with his Australian counterpart Tony Abbott to discuss ongoing bilateral relations between the Papua New Guinea and Australia. The two prime ministers met at Parliament House in Canberra yesterday.
Prime Minister Hon. Peter O’Neill said it is important that ongoing high-level dialogue takes place with the nation’s close partner countries. Prime Minister Hon. Tony Abbott hosted the discussion in his Parliament House office in Australia’s capital city. Prime Minister Hon. Peter O’Neill was in Australia to launch the 13th Papua New Guinea mining and petroleum investment conference in Sydney. "There are always a number of ongoing bilateral matters to discuss between our two countries and it is important to maintain communications," said Prime Minister Hon. Peter O’Neill. "There is a strong partnership between Australia and Papua New Guinea and we will continue to build on this relationship. "We have a number of ongoing partnership arrangements that are relevant to Papua New Guinea’s core government policy areas such as education and healthcare. "Australia has also been very supportive in relation to preparations for Papua New Guinea to host the APEC process in 2018 that will conclude with the leaders’ summit." Prime Minister Hon. Peter O’Neill said he and Prime Minister Abbott have a good working relationship and have regular contact. While they met informally on the sidelines of APEC and at the Gough Whitlam memorial in November, their last formal meeting was when Mr Abbott visited Port Moresby in October. Comments are closed.
