- Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape said on Friday he looked forward to visits by China's foreign minister and Australia's prime minister in the coming days that demonstrated strong ties with countries accounting for more than 70% of its trade.
"We will have two very important people in Papua New Guinea over the next couple of days in Chinese Foreign Minister Wang and Australian Prime Minister Albanese," Marape said in a statement on Friday. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who arrives on Saturday and will meet Marape on Sunday, is expected to sign economic cooperation agreements.
"We do not intend to compromise our relationship with China, or with any other country, for that matter," Marape said, a reference to Papua New Guinea's foreign policy of"friends to all" amid rising tensions between Beijing and Washington in the region.
