"The recent procession of well-intentioned world leaders visiting Port Moresby bearing gifts has made it plain that PNG is an important player in regional geopolitics. Visiting leaders...have raised expectations of greater international support for PNG’s security and development priorities, even if the underlying motivation for much of the increased international attention is to secure strategic access to the country’s valuable geography. But the yawning gap between the strategic imperatives of larger powers and the critical human security needs of PNG is not lost on the government nor the youth cohort, who were quick to take to the streets to voice their displeasure when the US-PNG DCA was leaked."
Thank you to our distinguished moderator and panellists, and to #UPNG for co-hosting with the The Lowy Institute Australia - Papua New Guinea Network our public seminar on security in Papua New Guinea last week.
