This Wikipedia article traces Holy See-Papua New Guinea relations from an initial 1947 Apostolic Delegation for Australia, New Zealand and Oceania, through a 1976 Apostolic Delegation of Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands, to a full independent Apostolic Nunciature seated in Port Moresby on 7 March 1977. It names no concordat or bilateral treaty between the two, and records Pope John Paul II's 1984 pilgrimage and Pope Francis' September 2024 visit as the relationship's high points.

Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
A crowd sourced encyclopedia article used here for a diplomatic timeline (the 1977 nunciature and the absence of any named concordat), a straightforward chronology corroborated by the Holy See's own published diplomatic-mission list, hence the lowest tier rather than exclusion.
