Australia hails close PNG ties after forum
Updated
The annual Australia-Papua New Guinea Ministerial Forum has wrapped-up in Brisbane - a meeting described by both countries as an opportunity for close regional neighbours to improve on their relationship. As you may have heard on yesterday's program, a 'memorandum of understanding' on the harvesting of timbers was signed by the forestry ministers of both countries. But it wasn't the only thing the two foreign ministers - Australia's Stephen Smith and PNG's Sam Abal - were holding-up as achievements after the meeting. Let's hear now from Stephen Smith who was talking to the media in Brisbane last night.
