PNG Prime Minister Marape wants Australian Aid in government priorities

He says the PNG-Australia partnership has been longstanding, and he would want similar ongoing support into areas where the government has its priorities.
"In terms of aid we appreciate the sort of aid they've always been giving us.
"We have our priorities. So long as they park their aid consistent with our national plans and national budgets.

"We have our own plans and so long as their budget support is congruent to our plans."
