Australia and Papua New Guinea aim to ink defence treaty by June

Australia and Papua New Guinea agreed to conclude negotiations over a comprehensive security
agreement by April with hopes of a treaty signing by June following a meeting between the leaders
of both countries in Port Moresby on Thursday.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the economic and security interests of the Pacific
neighbours were "indivisible", hours after being the first foreign leader to address Papua New
Guinea's parliament.

PNG Prime Minister James Marape said the proposed agreement would elevate the relationship with
Australia, who he called a "forever friend", without jeopardising Papua New Guinea's bilateral
relationship with other countries.
