<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">2025 is an important year for the Pacific region, as it marks the 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Papua New Guinea as an independent nation. Australia’s relations with its Pacific neighbours have a long history – of trade,
plantations, administration, missionary activity, anthropological and linguistic research, and scientific exploration. The documentary heritage of Australia’s relations with its Pacific neighbours is an important component of the UNESCO Australian Memory of
the World Register, and is represented on the Memory of the World Asia-Pacific (MOWCAP) Register.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
