Welcome to new envoy

PNG looks forward to welcoming the new Australian High Commissioner Ian Ferguson Kemish who will assume his Port Moresby post next month. Mr Kemish will no doubt fit in well in his new appointment as having previously lived in PNG with his parents.
Mr Kemish’s knowledge of Tok Pisin and his previous diplomatic postings will certainly stand him in good stead in PNG. I alsothank the outgoing high commissioner Chris Moraitis for a job well done. Mr Moraitis was a good ambassador for Australia as during his tenure of service in PNG he proactively initiated, and facilitated many Australian development initiatives.
For that the people of PNG thank him, his family and the Australian government and people for their kind assistance and support.
I am confident the new Australian government’s representative, Mr Kemish will also take up his new job with great challenge, vigor and passion.

Reginald Renagi,
Port Moresby
