His excellency Rupa Abraham Mulina, ambassador of Papua New Guinea to the United States, Canada and Mexico, visited Brigham Young University this week.
Mulina spoke about the challenges and opportunities facing his South Pacific Island nation. Located north of Australia and west of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea has a population of about 7.3 million people.
Developing countries like Papua New Guinea struggle because of poor infrastructure and services, like adequate health care and access to education, said Mulina.
