Papua New Guinea had declared next Monday a public holiday in anticipation of an historic visit by U.S. President Joe Biden.
Steven Ranewa, a lawyer in the capital, Port Moresby, said Biden's planned visit had been very big news across the Pacific, and he planned to watch the motorcades from the street.Konio Anu, who manages a lodge in the capital, said she was saddened by the news, and wondered if people would still get the day off on Monday. She said she was waiting to see if one international guest who booked for Monday would cancel.
“Unfortunately, it speaks to a pattern of behavior that causes many in the region to regard the U.S. as a less-than-reliable partner,” Powles said. Powles said the hectic schedule leading into the U.S. elections next year would make it difficult for Biden to reschedule.
