here can be no greater calling then reaching out to a neighbor and a close friend who is in need. Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape said these as he farewells the 100 PNG Defense personnel to Australia this morning. James Marape said PNG's offer to support Australia's bushfire response is a gesture of assurance to a close friend in times of crisis. Marape said PNG may not have the specialized capabilities and resources, but the country offers its hearts and hands to the Australian people. He said there are many countries they can choose from but the first instance Australia invited PNG to assist.
Within only 8 days, PNG Defense Force has put together the men from the Engineering Battalion and the field engineers from the First Battalion Royal Pacific Island Regiment. Prime Minister said the type of Defense Force they want to build in the future is not only waiting around for hardcore military activities but a Defense Force that is responsive to building a country working in partnership with the government and the people. The 100 PNGDF personal left the country at around 11am today on the RAAF C130 to Melbourne for the 'Operation Halivim Wantok.' They will work alongside the Australia Defense Force Element from the Townsville based 3rd Brigade.
