U.S. President Joe Biden will sign defence and surveillance agreements with Papua New Guinea, the island nation's foreign minister said, on a visit that renews the strategic importance of the nation where Biden's uncle died in World War Two.
PNG, the South Pacific's most populous nation, will also see a doubling of U.S. development assistance to $32 million, including $25 million to tackle its security priority of climate change, State Department documents submitted to the U.S. Congress show.
Foreign Minister Justin Tkachenko told Reuters a Defence Cooperation Agreement between the U.S. and PNG was finalised last week, "which now allows us to officially sign it when Biden comes here". "It will be a fantastic agreement protecting our natural resources from being illegally poached and stolen, especially our fishing," he added.
For Biden, the visit also will have personal significance that highlights PNG's importance to regional security. Classified portions of an Australian defence review were reported by local media to warn Australia would be unable to defend itself from a Chinese missile attack launched from the Pacific. Biden's meeting in person with Pacific leaders is seen in the region as a major step in restoring trust.
