THE United States Ambassador to Papua New Guinea Leslie Rowe praised Divine Word University (DWU) for encouraging its students to respect and uphold their traditional cultures.
Ms Rowe made this call when speaking live on FM100 at the annual DWU Cultural Day at the Madang campus last Saturday.
Ms Rowe said DWU was doing a great job of encouraging and facilitating for its students to appreciate and keep their cultures alive.
She said she was impressed with the performances put on by students from all the 20 provinces.
Ms Rowe said she felt very much at home with cultural dances and display of traditional art because she came from Washington state, where she was used to living and being with indigenous Indian tribes of the state.
She said the American Indian tribes shared the same cultural expressions like Papua New Guineans.
Ms Rowe was among tourists and visitors who turned up at the DWU annual cultural day.
Students Representative Council president Henry Yamo thanked all the student groups for participating, and said it was such a day every year where they come together to honour their indigenous roots as Papua New Guineans.
He also thanked the public in Madang for their patronage.
The proceedings were broadcasted live on FM100.
Popular FM100 Talkback show host John Rei and his team Leslie Kilaoro and Lancelot Gevoto were present.
