Australia In P-Ng,
U.N. Leader Says
The president of the United Nations Trusteeship Council, Miss Angie Brooks, said in Port Moresby on February 11 that Australia would not be limiting its options by setting a target date for the independence of Papua-New Guinea.
Miss Brooks, of Liberia, was speaking at a Press conference at the end of a week-long visit to the territory.
Asked her attitude to Aus tralia’s apparent reluctance to limit its options on the territory by setting a target date, she said independence could come in different forms.
“There is outright indepen dence, association and integra tion,” she said.
Miss Brooks said these options would remain if a target date were set.
Miss Brooks said Australia had to do a lot more for Papua- New Guinea. One of the main things was to train people in the administrative service and quickly move them into the high levels.
