The security situation on Bougainville Island has improved.
However, travel to the central mountainous area around the old
Panguna mine should be avoided. There are no tourist facilities,
and transportation facilities are limited. Canadians should seek
advice from the Australian High Commission in Port Moresby prior
to travel.
Heightened tensions as a result of the Iraq situation, together
with increased threats globally from terrorism, put Canadians at
greater risk. Canadians should maintain a high level of personal
security awareness at all times as the security situation could
deteriorate rapidly without notice. Exercise extreme caution,
particularly in commercial, public and tourist areas frequented
by foreigners. Canadians should monitor local developments,
avoid crowds and demonstrations, as well as register and remain
in regular contact with the nearest Canadian government office
or the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade
(call collect 613-996-8885).prior to travel. |

Most
visits to Papua New Guinea are trouble free. We currently advise
against all non-essential travel to Southern Highlands Province.
In other Highlands Provinces and in the cities of Port Moresby
and Lae, the law and order situation remains very poor.
Assaults, robbery, vehicle hijacks, random shootings and serious
sexual assaults are common and whilst not specifically targeted,
foreigners are much more visible targets. There is an increased
risk from global terrorism in South East Asia.

Il n'est toujours
pas recommandé de se déplacer dans la région des hauts
plateaux ("Highlands"), notamment à Mount-Hagen,
Mendi et Tari, où des bandes armées incontrôlées ont été
signalées.
Un contact préalable avec l'ambassade avant tout déplacement
dans le pays est plus que jamais nécessaire.
