A site survey team from the United States Pacific Fleet met with PNG Defence Force personnel today. The team also met with the National Coordination Office of Bougainville Affairs.They hope to survey potential areas for U.S. assistance in Arawa under a program called Pacific Partnership. Pacific Partnership was founded to deliver humanitarian assistance and disaster resilience to Pacific nations following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Activities range from medical, dental, and veterinarian care to construction projects and crisis response trainings. PNG previously benefitted from the program, most recently in Wewak and Vanimo in 2013. This year’s engagement is planned for Bougainville and Rabaul. The program is a great opportunity to expand people to people ties with the United States and deliver benefits for the people of Bougainville.
