SCROLL DOWN
As Papua New Guinea approaches the remarkable milestone of our 50th year of independence, we are filled with pride as we reflect on the extraordinary journey that has shaped the nation since that historic day in 1975.
Our story is one of transformation. From humble beginnings, we have grown into a vibrant nation with boundless potential. Together, we’ve faced challenges, celebrated triumphs, and forged a path forward as one people, united in our diversity.
This momentous occasion is not only a celebration of our past, it’s a bold statement of our future, and an opportunity to inspire and start the next chapter of Papua New Guinea’s story.
EVENTS
From now until September 16 and beyond, several important events celebrating our history, our culture, our faith, our resilience and our military will take place.
STORIES
As a document and celebration of the last 50 years, and to begin the stories of our future, we’re going to talk to 50 Papua New Guineans from several different walks of life. Each will be filmed as they tell us their story. Some will tell us tales of the past; some will tell us about the roadmap that’s being created for the future.
HEROES
Throughout 2025 and beyond, we’ll be talking to prominent Papua New Guineans about a myriad of important topics covering culture, economics, religion, history, agriculture, sport, business, fisheries, arts, security, flora & fauna, national identity, the future and much more.
