Australia–Solomons Reset: New PM Matthew Wale met Anthony Albanese in Canberra and says his government will review the 2022 secret security pact with China, after getting access to the full text only days before the trip. Both leaders agreed to start talks on a new comprehensive strategic treaty covering security, economic cooperation and development, with a stronger focus on Pacific-led approaches through the Pacific Islands Forum. China Pact Review: Wale said the China deal includes a non-disclosure clause and that he removed people from key positions before reviewing it, while Beijing said it is ready to expand “pragmatic cooperation.” Regional Security Cooperation: Australia and Solomon Islands also pledged closer coordination on transnational crime and climate action, reinforcing support for Pacific peace and security led by Pacific leaders. WASH and Tourism Pressure: UNICEF warned that open defecation and poor sanitation are harming health and education, and could also slow tourism growth by worsening waste and visitor experience. Health Support in Gizo: Australian GP anaesthetists completed an outreach mission to strengthen anaesthesia training and peri-operative care at Gizo Hospital. Sports: Malaita Kingz signed former Rewa duo Norman Ngafu and Calvin Ohasio ahead of the 2026 Telekom S-League, while SICF announced a Sir Peter Kenilorea chess championship for Independence celebrations on 7 July.
