The people of the UK and PNG have a rich history of close commercial, cultural, and diplomatic relations spanning 150 years.

The modern PNG/UK relationship is based upon a common respect for each other underpinned by substantial commercial investment ensuring a healthy balance of trade, a growing number of visitors and nationals residing in PNG and the UK, sizeable development support (averaging 12-15 million kina per year) via UK contributions to the European Community, and close co-operation in the United Nations and The Commonwealth.

For those wishing to visit PNG for the holiday of a lifetime please check out the web link to PNG Tourism. It gives you a taster of the fantastic tourism opportunities available. Please also take a minute to read the UK Travel Advice as well.

This website also contains useful information for Papua New Guineans wanting to study or visit the UK. For those seeking project support the website explains the criteria and objectives of the UK Bilateral Fund and highlights the forms to make an application.

Lastly, a final plea to those British Nationals resident in PNG. Please take two minutes to annually register with the High Commission. This can be done by post, online, or by popping in to the High Commission in Waigani.
I hope you find this website informative and helpful. Feedback on the site is most welcome and can be done via the High Commission email contact address, which can be found on the contact page.

Tenkyu tru na lukim!

David Dunn,

High Commissioner
