On JICA’s official website, our staff share insights and perspectives gained through their on-the-ground experiences, showcasing the realities of international cooperation today.
This time, we are pleased to introduce a newly published article featuring Papua New Guinea.

“Japan is a Sincere and Genuine Friend” – A story of friendship between Japan and a Pacific Island Nation, forged beyond the scars of war. Once a fierce battlefield during World War II, Nadzab in Papua New Guinea is now home to a new international airport: Nadzab Tomodachi International Airport. This “Tomodachi (Friendship) Airport” connects the past and the future, symbolizing peace and partnership between the two nations, 80 years after the war.
