Last update: 7 hours ago

Bilateral Trade & Investment: Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea have wrapped up a two-day technical and legal meeting in Honiara on their maritime boundary treaty, reviewing the 1989 treaty line and agreeing to progress work toward bringing the treaty into force. China Relations: Foreign Minister Rick Houenipwela met China’s Wang Yi in Beijing, with both sides reaffirming cooperation in trade, investment, infrastructure, education and renewable energy, while Beijing rejected claims it seeks a “sphere of influence.” Regional Security: The Pacific remains on edge after China’s missile test drew condemnation, with renewed debate over how major powers affect island sovereignty and security. Healthcare & Development: Japan formally handed over the upgraded Kilu’ufi Hospital in Malaita, adding emergency, outpatient, imaging and birthing services to cut referrals to Honiara. Agriculture & Jobs: SIART World Bank support helped East Central Guadalcanal farmers form the Atunoda Family Farmers Association, funding pineapple processing equipment to improve market access. Connectivity for Business: Solomon Airlines signed an interline deal with Philippine Airlines using Interline Through Check-In, enabling smoother Honiara–Manila connections via Port Moresby and Brisbane. Disaster Finance: Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance opened a Suva office, highlighting fast parametric payouts for cyclones, drought and other hazards, including Solomon Islands. Crime & Investment Climate: Central Guadalcanal MP Peter Shanel Agovaka urged urgent action against rising criminal activity, warning it could deter investors and tourism.
