Congratulations to the #PNG Barramundis for qualifying for the 2024 @T20WorldCup as East Asia Pacific champions. Thanks for a great final day at Amini Park yesterday. Can’t wait for a PNG v Scotland final!
Huge honour - as always - to join the Governor-General and others yesterday in laying a wreath and paying respects at #PNG’s National Remembrance Day. Lest we forget.
Congratulations to the #PNG Barramundis for putting Vanuatu to the sword in their first match in the men’s #ICC 2024 T20 cricket World Cup qualifier in Port Moresby, chasing down 71 in 6.3 overs. Enjoy the Melanesian bragging rights!
HMS Tamar has been in town on her first visit to #PNG. Evidence of the UK’s commitment to a free and open Pacific and strengthening ties with the PNG Defence Force.

Earlier this year, Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly saw first-hand how Pacific islands are responding to the threat of climate change.
Today he hosted Leaders of Small Island Developing States on the eve of the #Coronation and called for urgent action to protect them from disaster.
Port Moresby’s Bomana Commonwealth War Cemetery - with almost 4,000 graves - was a moving and poignant setting for #AnzacDay2023 in #PNG, especially as the mist lifted and last post played. An honour and a privilege as always to be able to pay my respects here. #LestWeForget

He will travel onto 🇵🇬 🇸🇧 🇼🇸 🇳🇿
" Throughout my visit, I will build on commitments to our friends across the Pacific nations in their bid to promote peace and prosperity in the region"
Not the traditional festive decorations at Moresby House today. Anyone might think there’s a big match on later… Best of luck from #PNG to @England in the #FIFAWorldCup quarter final vs France!
I can think of few more peaceful and special places to mark #RemembranceDay than the Commonwealth War Cemetery at Bomana, Port Moresby, #PNG. Thanks to the Returned and Services League for another beautiful and poignant service. #LestWeForget
It’s not every day shoppers at Port Moresby’s Vision City Mall get to play a chess Grandmaster and world championship finalist. Huge thanks to Nigel Short @nigelshortchess #FIDE Director for Chess Development for coming to promote the game so enthusiastically in #PNG
