Prime Minister Hon. James Marape has called on all Papua New Guineans to observe National Remembrance Day today, not simply as a day to remember those who served during times of war, but as a national occasion to honour every generation whose sacrifice, service and commitment have shaped Papua New Guineaโ€™s journey to nationhood and continue to build the country today.

National Remembrance Day is observed annually on 23 July as a National Public Holiday, providing an opportunity for Papua New Guineans to reflect on the nationโ€™s history, honour those who have gone before us, and recommit ourselves to serving our country with purpose and sacrifice.
