Abbott said this on Monday (November 08th) during the Federation Chamber meeting in the Australian Parliament in Canberra.
He said Australia continued to focus on countries in South East Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States and were more important to them.
“Australia and PNG have geography in common, but we also have a future to work on as well as a past to honour and respect,” said Abbott.
Abbott was in PNG recently where he presented a speech at the Anglicare PNG Annual Dinner on November 02nd in Port Moresby.
