Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister James Marape took objection to the "cannibals" remark, after comments made by US President Joe Biden about his missing serviceman uncle.
Biden had "appeared to imply his uncle was eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down over PNG during WWII", Marape's office said in a statement on Sunday.
"President Biden's remarks may have been a slip of the tongue; however, my country does not deserve to be labeled as such," he said.
