Students from the Autonomous Region of Bougainville (AROB) gathered in Madang on June 20 to observe Bougainville Day. The event commemorated the establishment of the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG). The celebration was jointly hosted by students from Divine Word University, Madang Teachers College, and Madang Technical College. It took place at the SVDMA Hall located at Divine Word University. While the official anniversary falls on June 15, the festivities were rescheduled to June 20. This delay was necessary to accommodate students' ongoing academic examinations. The gathering served as a significant cultural and political milestone for the student community in Madang.
