Building stronger people-to-people and business ties between Australia and Papua New Guinea
The Australia-PNG Network builds links and understanding between two countries that share close ties in history and geography. We work to strengthen connections across the broadest range of areas, including business, sport, education, civil society, arts and culture, religion, media and development.
The Network evolved from the first joint dialogue between emerging leaders from the two nations which was hosted by the Lowy Institute in 2013. The success of the event was embraced by the Australia-PNG Ministerial Council, which supported the Emerging Leaders Dialogue in becoming an annual event held in each year. This is supported by a range of issue-focused workshops and regular networking events that promote a strong relationship between both countries. The Network regularly publishes the outcomes of these gatherings as a shared online resource.
