Strengthening the PNG-Australia Governance Partnership

CHIEF Secretary to Government Isaac Lupari and Australian High Commissioner, Bruce Davis, welcomed a new chapter in the PNG-Australia Governance Partnership. 

They chaired the first Strategic Management Committee meeting to oversee the new Papua New Guinea Governance Facility (PGF). 

The PGF will help consolidate and deliver our governance and economic cooperation around shared priorities.

“This reflects the close working partnership between our Governments.  Through the Strategic Management Committee, senior officials from both the Australian Government and Government of Papua New Guinea, including Chief Secretary Isaac Lupari CBE, will provide oversight of the economic and governance partnership to ensure it is aligned effectively to Papua New Guinea’s priorities,” said Australian High Commissioner Bruce Davis.

Australia is committed to working in partnership with Papua New Guinea as Papua New Guinea progresses PNG Vision 2050.
