Papua New Guinea and US sign new defence cooperation agreement and maritime pact | Oneindia News
At a time when China is expanding its influence in the Pacific region, the United States and Papua New Guinea have signed a new bilateral defence pact.
This comes as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the capital Port Moresby on Monday and held a meeting with 14 Pacific Island leaders.
During the signing ceremony, Blinken said that the defence cooperation was drafted by the United States and Papua New Guinea as equals and sovereign partners.
With this new security agreement, the United States will be able to have more access to military and other facilities in PNG.
Francis will clock 32,814 kilometres by air during his Sept. 2-13 visit to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Singapore, far surpassing any of his previous 44 foreign trips.

In a groundbreaking move, Beijing has successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean for the first time since 1980. This "routine" test, which China claims is not directed at any specific country, marks a significant shift in its military capabilities and strategy. Analysts suggest the missile is likely a Dong Feng-41, capable of reaching up to 15,000 kilometers. The launch has raised concerns among neighboring nations, highlighting China's growing assertiveness on the global stage.
