Queensland-Papua New Guinea Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
On 10 December 2025, the Queensland and Papua New Guinea (PNG) Governments signed a renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), outlining priority areas of cooperation developed by Queensland and PNG.
The MoU builds upon successive Memoranda of Understanding in place since March 1992 and is designed to enhance Queensland's people-to-people, government-to-government and business-to-businesses links with PNG.
The 14 priority areas for cooperative work include business relations, support of cultural and sporting exchanges, tourism, agriculture, education, health, emergency services, and disaster resilience and response.
Queensland and PNG will continue to pursue a range of cooperative activities under the MoU.
Queensland is the only Australian state or territory to have a MoU like this with PNG, reflecting the unique link shared between the governments and people.
