In December 1973 we will see a new nation emerge on the world stage. Papua New Guinea, a unique group of territories and peoples, will achieve the mystical status of "self-government." Two years later it is expected to declare its independence from Australia, who is currently its colonial guardian and the trustee of the United Nations. It will have the same problems as any developing country, counting, however, with enviable benefits and reinforcements by occupying a privileged position, between Asia and the Pacific Ocean. Niugini faces its independence with an enormous power that many small nations never had, for their development, in the same period of evolution.
