Australia, NZ press China to reveal Solomons policing deal FMTNews FMTWorld
Visiting Solomon Islands PM Manasseh Sogavare and his Chinese colleague Li Qiang inspect an honour guard in Beijing.
China has lavished attention on the Solomons since it severed ties with Taiwan in 2019, pledging large amounts of aid and bankrolling a series of critical infrastructure projects. Solomon Islands, one of the poorest countries in the Pacific, sits at the centre of an escalating tug-of-war as China vies for regional influence with Australia and the United States.
Sogavare has repeatedly stressed his country was “friends to all”, a claim questioned by some after a video posted by Chinese state media showed him telling officials “I am back home” after touching down in Beijing earlier this week.
