AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

US–Solomon Islands ties: Prime Minister Matthew Wale met US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau in Washington, signing a Letter of Intent to return the Peace Corps after more than 25 years, and the US pledged US$6m to expand clearance of unexploded World War II ordnance. Maritime security: Wale also backed a new “ship rider” arrangement for US Coast Guard patrols in Solomon Islands waters, with local police aboard, to tackle drug trafficking, human trafficking and illegal fishing. Regional security backdrop: Australia raised concerns with China over its submarine-launched nuclear-capable missile test in the Pacific, echoing “strong concerns” from Pacific nations. Domestic governance: MPs approved a second pay rise in two years under amended 2026 Parliamentary Entitlements Regulations, taking effect 1 April 2026. Public services & development: Infrastructure updates included completion of the Riffle Range roundabout upgrade and ongoing road works in Auki, while climate ministers met to prepare for major regional and global talks. Business & community: Tourism leaders launched “Tok Stori” to boost collaboration and sustainable visitor growth, and SICCI warned security incidents in Belaha could hit tourism and SMEs.
