Papua New Guinea

Prime Minister James Marape has summoned his Health Minister and other health officials to meet this Friday to address issues of hospital overcrowding.

"A child-friendly space offers something simple but powerful: safety."

China's growing role in Papua New Guinea's health, education, and infrastructure hasn't gone unnoticed, nor has the $600 million Australian-funded NRL team set for 2028.

Photos and videos of the incident shared in PNG Facebook groups on Wednesday showed villagers trying to put out the fire and remove the pilot out of the plane.

The Papua New Guinea U19 men's cricket team is in Japan to compete in the Under-19 Cricket World Cup East Asia-Pacific Division 1 Qualifier.

Sir Peter was the latest to unsuccessfully challenge Prime Minister James Marape, losing by 89 votes to 16.

The Prime Minister defeated the vote of no confidence by 89 to 16 on Tuesday, and said he "will try my absolute best to continue on leaving no place and no one behind".

The Supreme Court ordered the House to reconvene last week to consider the motion after an earlier ruling that parliament's Private Business Committee acted undemocratically.

With vast natural resources, rich biodiversity and a young and growing population of approximately 12 million people, the country stands poised for progress.

The result means Auckland City FC will also be OFC's representatives at the FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2025 later in the year.

This is after the PNG Supreme Court ruled last week that parliament must be recalled on Tuesday to debate a motion of no confidence against James Marape.

The woman, a mother of four from Londol in Ambum, Enga Province, was tortured and burned alive, according to the Post-Courier report. Audio
