Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare Remembrance Day – 26 February 2026 🌺
Today, Papua New Guinea pauses to honor the life and legacy of our Founding Father, the late Grand Chief Sir Michael Thomas Somare. His vision, leadership, and dedication guided our nation to independence in 1975 and inspired generations with his unwavering commitment to unity and progress.
On this day of remembrance, we celebrate his enduring spirit and reflect on the values he instilled in our people: respect, resilience, and pride in our identity. May his legacy continue to light the path for Papua New Guinea’s future.
Rest in peace, Grand Chief. Your nation remembers.
