Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum Dame Meg Taylor says the passing of Sir Michael Somare leaves many bereft.
In a statement, Ms Taylor said Sir Michael was the most humble of all leaders who always held his people at heart.
She said Mr Somare’s effortless lifelong charisma and humility drew people from all walks of life to his side.
“He will be remembered for his profound vision and leadership as Papua New Guinea joined newly independent nations at the Forum Leaders table. In hosting the Forum Leaders and welcoming the region to his nation, he reminded all of the need to guard our unity as one regional family closely – even as he set to work leading Papua New Guinea into its unique role as part of the Pacific, and of Asia,” Ms Taylor said.
