Australia has agreed to close a controversial asylum seeker detention centre in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill said in a statement he had met Australia's immigration minister, Peter Dutton, in Port Moresby on Wednesday.
"Both PNG and Australia are in agreement that [Manus Island] centre is to be closed," the statement said.
PNG's Supreme Court found in April that detaining asylum seekers and refugees at the centre was unconstitutional.
Mr O'Neill said the Manus Regional Processing Centre, which currently houses 854 men, would not close immediately.

ORIGIN OF ISIS


The name ISIS is one that every American knows,” Swann said “The biggest threat to our national security since Al-Qaeda, right? They are a brutal, savage group known for public beheadings and mass executions. They are the face of the new war on terror.”
