Last update: 2 hours agoAustralia–Solomon Islands Reset: New PM Matthew Wale met Anthony Albanese in Canberra and says his government will start talks on a comprehensive strategic treaty, while also “reviewing” the secretive 2022 security pact with China after only getting access to the text days before his trip.

Climate Resilience Funding: GEF’s LDCF/SCCF approved new projects including support for Solomon Islands to cut flood and coastal risks, improve disaster preparedness, and boost food and water security.
