Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has arrived in Port Moresby ahead of a week of Anzac Day commemorations, with Albanese and PNG Prime Minister James Marape to walk part of the Kokoda Trail during his visit. Speaking at PNG’s parliament, Albanese said that Pacific nations should be "free to pursue their own destiny and secure their own future", with his visit just days after China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi criticised jostling for regional influence, with Wang claiming that Pacific countries "are not the backyard" of any nation".
