Papua New Guinea National Day
On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my congratulations to the people of Papua New Guinea as you celebrate 51 years of independence.
The close cooperation between the United States and Papua New Guinea strengthens prosperity and security in the Pacific. This year's United States - Papua New Guinea Strategic Partnership Dialogue builds on the positive momentum of our work together. Today, we join you in honoring your nation's rich history, and we look forward to further strengthening U.S.-Papua New Guinea ties for the benefit of both our peoples in the years to come.
I wish all Papua New Guineans a joyful celebration of your national day.
