He began his visit in Port Moresby, addressing Parliament and praising PNG’s climate leadership and role in international consensus on climate justice.
He then traveled to Wewak in East Sepik before heading inland to Mt. Hagen in the Western Highlands. There, he commended PNG’s strong local democracy and celebrated the region’s deep agricultural roots, calling its farming potential “world-class.”
Next, he visited the remote Nuku District in West Sepik Province, where he met local communities, opened the new Nuku (George Oakes) District Office, and thanked residents for preserving one of the world’s largest rainforests—"two enormous carbon sinks" that benefit the entire planet.
This visit, aligned with PNG’s 50th Independence celebration, highlighted the nation’s resilience as a democracy and its vital role as a climate leader in the Pacific.
