Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says boosting aid ties with Papua New Guinea is in the national interest after Australia was left in the "naughty corner" under the coalition government.
It comes as the federal opposition says it is disappointing a security deal with PNG was not signed during the prime minister's two-day visit.
Anthony Albanese wrapped up the PNG trip on Friday afternoon - the first for a prime minister since 2018 - getting an agreement to finalise talks on a security pact by the end of April.
