Papua New Guinea, NAWACITApost.com – Papua New Guinea is a close neighbor for Indonesia and we share a long land border.
PNG is also Indonesia’s strategic partner in forging deeper partnerships with the Pacific countries.
Indonesia highly appreciates PNG’s strong and consistent support for Indonesia sovereignty and territorial integrity.
During our morning walk in Bogor Botanical Garden, we reaffirmed our commitment to maintain strategic trust as the basic principle in pursuing a stronger relation.
Colleagues from the Media,
At the JMC, we exchanged views on the progress of bilateral relations.
I welcome PNG’s ratification on two bilateral agreements:
● The Agreement on the Implementation of Visa Exemption for Diplomatic and Official Passport Holders; and
● the Basic Agreement on Border Arrangements.
In the Field of Defense, I mentioned to Minister Tkatchenko of the expectation that PNG will support to expedite the ratification process.
