India Extends Support Of 1 Million Dollar To Papua New Guinea, State Was Hit By Landslide

India announced immediate relief assistance of US 1 million dollars on Tuesday to support Papua New Guinea’s recovery efforts after a devastating landslide buried hundreds of people in Enga Province on May 24.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stated, “As a close friend and partner under the Forum for India-Pacific Islands Cooperation (FIPIC), the Government of India extends immediate relief assistance of US 1 million dollars to support relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction efforts in solidarity with the friendly people of Papua New Guinea.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed condolences and India’s readiness to provide support.

“Deeply saddened by the loss of lives and damage caused by the devastating landslide in Papua New Guinea. Our heartfelt condolences to the affected families and prayers for the speedy recovery of the injured. India is ready to offer all possible support and assistance,” he stated.

India has consistently supported Papua New Guinea during natural disasters, such as earthquakes in 2018 and volcanic eruptions in 2019 and 2023.

PM Modi announced the formation of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in November 2019, a key aspect of India’s Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative (IPOI).

Additionally, India remains committed to Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) and continues to be a responsive responder in the region.
