The Australian Minister for Pacific Island Affairs Pat Conroy is keen on witnessing the unveiling of the PNG Chiefs jersey scheduled for tomorrow morning.

After touching down in Port Moresby today, Minister Conroy openly remarked his keenness on witnessing the official launch of the PNG Chiefs jersey, describing everything happening with the PNG Chiefs as a milestone.

“Papua New Guinean Chiefs entering the NRL in 2028 will be a milestone for both nations” he said.

“It will bring together the thousand tribes and languages of Papua New Guinea into one nation driven in support for one team.”

“It is Prime Minister James Marape’s Nelson Mandela vision and tomorrow’s announcement is a critical milestone in that achievement, and I am looking forward to that.”

Minister Conroy also commended the PNG Kumuls for their win in their pool opener of the Rugby League World Cup over Lebanon.

“I would also like to congratulate PNG for beating Lebanon over the weekend. It was a great achievement.”
