Governor-General of Papua New Guinea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Governor-General of Papua New Guinea is the representative of Queen Elizabeth II, known in Tok Pisin as 'Missis Kwin', Papua New Guinea's head of state, performing the same duties as the Queen in the United Kingdom. Uniquely among Commonwealth realms, the Governor-General of Papua New Guinea is nominated by the country's Parliament, rather than by its Prime Minister, as is the convention elsewhere.
The current Governor-General of Papua New Guinea is Sir Silas Atopare.
