PM inspects Wutung Border Post

They were greeted on arrival by the Wutung Primary School Headmaster, Evan Misih.

The Prime Minister met with officials on the ground to discuss border security issues and inspect the facility that was built but has been sitting idle with no electricity connected.

Disappointed with the state of the facility, the PM said he will send a team next week to attend to the issues at Wutung.

“Maintaining security on the border is in the national interest of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia,” the Prime Minister said.
