๐ต๐ฌ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐บ Pukpuk Treaty Sealed!
PNG and Australia have agreed on the Pukpuk Treaty, our first-ever mutual defence pact, now awaiting cabinet and parliament approval in both countries.
Once ratified this historic deal means if one nation is attacked, the other will treat it as a threat too. It strengthens our friendship, boosts joint training, and fills gaps in PNGโs defence force with better equipment, logistics, and technology. ๐ชโ๏ธ
One standout feature โ PNG school leavers will have a chance to apply for the Australian Defence Force, and vice versa ๐ต๐ฌ๐จโโ๏ธ๐ฆ๐บ. Itโs about building opportunities as much as it is about protecting borders. ๐๐ก๏ธ
Most importantly, PNGโs sovereignty stays intact while our region gets stronger. A big moment for PNG and the Pacificโs future. ๐
