During a poignant ceremony held in Kokopo, East New Britain, a PNG Defence Force vessel departed for Bougainville, carrying essential food and relief supplies for the thousands affected by the recent eruption of Mt Bagana.
These items were a heartfelt gift from the people of Papua New Guinea and East New Britain, symbolising the nation's solidarity with Bougainville during their time of hardship.
Prime Minister Marape expressed his gratitude to Bougainville President, Ishmael Toroamo, for permitting the PNG Defence Force vessel to enter Bougainville.
