Papua New Guinea opened its embassy in Jerusalem on Tuesday at a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Papua New Guinean counterpart James Marape.
“Today is a milestone moment for my country Papua New Guinea,” Marape said. “We are here to give respect to the people of Israel to the fullest.”
Israel's PM shared a hearty message, "Yesterday, the Embassy of Papua New Guinea was inaugurated in Jerusalem, Israel's capital. Jerusalem has been our heart for 3,000 years. Grateful to PNG, the first Asian-Pacific nation to recognize this with an embassy. This gesture fortifies our bond and promises future collaborations"
Papua New Guinea opened its embassy in Jerusalem “because of our shared heritage, acknowledging the creator God, the Yahweh God of Israel, the Yahweh God of Isaac and Abraham,” said Marape.
“You have been the great custodian of the moral values that were passed for humanity,” Marape said to Netanyahu.
