The UN system is a unique instrument for dealing collectively, through dialogue and discussion, with the challenges that concern us all and which can only be resolved at the international level: peace and international security, terrorism, development, human rights, health, education, the climate, migrations.

President Macron reaffirmed this conviction when he told the General Assembly on September 19 that “the challenge today, for our generation, is to rebuild that multilateralism. It is to explain that today, in the current state of the world, there is nothing more effective than multilateralism".

Bilateral relations

France is the only EU Member State with a direct diplomatic representation in Papua New Guinea. In recent years, bilateral relations between Papua New Guinea and France have strengthened considerably. French President Emmanuel Macron’s historic visit to Papua New Guinea in July 2023 marked a crucial turning point in relations between the two countries. As the first visit by a French President to PNG since its independence in 1975, this event generated a new dynamic for cooperation.
