Vanuatu Prime Minister Bob Loughman Weibur will be the chief guest at the official closure of the ‘haus krai’ for the late former Papua New Guinea leader, Sir Michael Somare.
The week-long ‘haus krai’ has been hosted by the Melanesian Spearhead Group Secretariat and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the secretariat headquarters.
MSG Acting Director General, George Hoa'au said the closure will coincide with the state funeral of Sir Michael.
Last night dozens of people attended a candle light vigil at the ‘haus krai’.
Sir Micheal, PNG’s longest serving leader died in Port Moresby last month.
He is one of the founding fathers of the MSG.
He will be laid to rest in his home province East Sepik.
