In opening remarks to the summit, Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape says India was the leader of the Global South, a term used to refer to some low and middle income countries, adding, 'our people have been left behind.'
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a summit with Pacific Island leaders in Papua New Guinea on Monday, May 22, with the US Secretary of State scheduled to also meet the leaders later in the day and sign a defense agreement with Papua New Guinea.
Earlier, Modi wrote on social media he had discussed “ways to augment cooperation in commerce, technology, healthcare and in addressing climate change” with PNG in a bilateral meeting with Marape on Monday. The United States Commander for the Indo-Pacific Command, Admiral John Aquino, on Monday attended a ceremony at PNG’s Murray Barracks to present personal protective equipment to PNG’s defense force, the PNG Post Courier reported.
Several universities held protests at campuses against the signing of the Defense Cooperation Agreement, amid concern it would upset China. Marape has denied it would stop PNG working with China, an important trade partner.
