New Delhi, Aug. 6 -- New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has made history as the first Kiwi leader to address Papua New Guinea's Parliament, using the occasion to push for deeper Pacific cooperation and stronger ties with the region's largest island nation.

In a speech delivered in Papua New Guinea Parliament, Luxon said the relationship between the two countries is anchored in shared history, regional solidarity, and a common vision for the future.
