Kokoda Track ‘tremendously important’ to Australia and Papua New Guinea

The Australian Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says the Kokoda Track has “tremendously important” significance to Australia and Papua New Guinea. Mr Albanese is in Papua New Guinea ahead of his historic trek along the Kokoda Trail in the lead-up to ANZAC Day. The Prime Minister touched down just a day after China’s Foreign Minister flew out of Port Moresby. “The Kokoda Track is tremendously important to Australia symbolically,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News Australia. “It’s tremendously important to Papua New Guinea. “It’s a site where Papua New Guineans helped Australian servicemen, and I think the Prime Minister is doing 100 per cent the right thing by spending time in Papua New Guinea and spending time with the PNG Prime Minister.”
