Before attending an Anzac Day dawn service, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his PNG counterpart James Marape walked sections of the Kokoda Track. They wanted the journey to send a message to the region.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hailed ties between Papua New Guinea and Australia as he retraced the footsteps of war heroes with his counterpart James Marape, amid concerns of China's growing influence in the region.

" Marape said while the pair “didn't have to take this trip for us to anchor our relationship ... but when you walk this sort of path it ingrains in your soul deeper meanings of life." The Battle of Kokoda — widely considered the first time Australia's security was directly threatened — lasted from July to November 1942.
