    Solution

    Papua New Guinea will sign a security pact with the United States that gives American troops access to the Pacific nation’s ports and airports. Two agreements focusing on defence cooperation and maritime surveillance had been agreed with Washington and would be formally signed at the earliest opportunity after parliamentary approval. The agreements, which can be renewed every 15 years, will give the United States vital movement in Papua New Guinea’s waters near sea routes to Australia and Japan, in return for access to U.S. satellite surveillance.
