Papua New Guinea’s foreign minister, Justin Tkatchenko, has apologised for calling people “primitive animals” after his daughter faced criticism for TikTok videos she made while accompanying him to London for King Charles’s coronation.
“I would like to personally apologise about my comments that were taken the completely wrong way and make known that these comments were solely directed to the individuals that made these disgusting and vile comments about my daughter,” Tkatchenko said in a statement.
