Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday congratulated David Tiva Kapu, governor general of the Solomon Islands, on the country's 48th anniversary of independence. In a message, Xi noted that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Solomon Islands in 2019, political mutual trust has continued to deepen, practical cooperation has yielded fruitful results, people-to-people exchanges have become increasingly close, and bilateral relations have made considerable progress. Xi said he attaches great importance to the development of the bilateral relations and stands ready to work with Kapu to continue to deepen the two countries' comprehensive strategic partnership featuring mutual respect and common development, promote the building of a China-Solomon Islands community with a shared future in the new era, and bring more benefits to the two peoples.

Last week, the New Zealand High Commission was pleased to welcome four advisers from local government in Aotearoa New Zealand to Honiara as part of the MFAT-funded Pacific TA programme. Working alongside their peers at Honiara City Council, the team shared skills and experience across a range of priority areas including library services, building compliance, financial management, organisational performance and staff leadership. During the visit, the advisers worked with HCC staff to strengthen budget planning and expenditure monitoring, improve building control processes, support implementation of HCC's Corporate Plan, review management of the multi-Purpose Hall, and identify opportunities to enhance library services and partnerships. 🏢💵🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️⛹️‍♀️🏋️ Pacific TA is built on the principle of peer-to-peer support, connecting local government practitioners from across the Pacific and New Zealand to share practical experience and strengthen local government services. 🇳🇿🇸🇧 A big thank you to Honiara City Council for hosting the team and for the strong collaboration throughout the week. 👍 We were delighted to have Chris Brown, Jacinta Straker, Luke Sole and Aaron Haymes in Honiara, and especially pleased they could join our Friday morning waiata (singsing) practice at the New Zealand High Commission. An important part of who we are, helping to strengthen our office culture, lift our spirits, and bring us together as a team. 🖤🖤 🖤🇳🇿🇸🇧🖤
