PRIME Minister Peter O’Neill has painted a bright future for Papua New Guinea that all citizens should look forward to as they celebrate Independence Day tomorrow.
"When we celebrate our nation this week, we must celebrate both where we have come from and where our nation is going. This is a pride that all Papua New Guineans can share as we move the country forward together," he said in his 39th Independence Day message. More than previous governments, he said his coalition had achieved more and that was for the people to judge as they look around. "It has been hard work and determination for the nation of Papua New Guinea for 39 years." Tomorrow, Mr O’Neill will officially raise the PNG flag at Independence Hill in Port Moresby. He said his Government and PNG’s seven million people had everything to celebrate this year, many great achievements so far. "Papua New Guinea has turned a corner and I hope every citizen takes the opportunity to feel good about our nation," Mr O’Neill said. "Everywhere in the country something is happening that is improving the lives of Papua New Guineans". "I hope all citizens can feel proud when they look at the roads and buildings under construction, when they see children who are in school for the first time, when the health of our people is taken care of and when they feel safer in our streets. "We must celebrate both where we have come from and where our nation is going. This is a pride that all Papua New Guineans can share as we move the country forward together," Mr O’Neill said. "When people move into their new family home that they have bought through our housing program, I hope they will feel the pride that comes with being a part of our nation’s growth."
