Australia–Solomons reset: New Prime Minister Matthew Wale says Solomon Islands will review the secretive 2022 China security pact and negotiate a comprehensive strategic treaty with Australia, as Anthony Albanese pledges to “elevate” ties and deepen police cooperation in Canberra. Security & transparency: Wale says the deal had a non-disclosure clause and he only saw the full text days before his trip, after removing people from key positions to access it. Development package: The leaders also backed new support for Solomon Islands priorities, including SBD$200 million to respond to Tropical Cyclone Maila and energy shocks, more training and vocational scholarships, and increased Pacific Engagement visas. Local services & resilience: In Isabel Province, the new Buala Market Building was handed over to vendors, funded by Australia, with climate-resilient features like solar lighting, water storage, and improved toilets/showers. Youth & child protection: New Zealand-backed YSED+CP and SIEVAP programmes were launched to help stop violence, including child marriage and forced marriage, with faith and community leaders targeted. Energy upgrade: Heritage Park Hotel commissioned a large solar system to supply up to 95% of its electricity needs, cutting diesel and grid reliance. Road safety law review: A workshop reviewed the Road Transport Act (Cap. 131) to tighten safety, enforcement and regulation in Honiara as vehicle use grows.
