Ilhas Salomão, Solomon Star News, Inglês

Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese jointly announced a transformational new step in the bilateral relationship between the Solomon Islands and Australia.

In response to a request by Solomon Islands, and following discussions initiated between Prime Ministers in June 2024, Australia will provide a package of support to grow the size of the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF).

The support responds to Solomon Islands’ strong desire to build an enduring sovereign security capability, reducing its reliance on external partners.

This package will include funding, training, and infrastructure support to grow the RSIPF in a sustainable manner, and will include support for a new sovereign Police Training Centre in Honiara. Solomon Islands’ priorities will guide delivery.

This support will complement our long-standing Defence Cooperation Program and RSIPF-AFP Policing Partnership Program (RAPPP).

This partnership is an investment in Solomon Islands, which will help unlock prosperity for more Solomon Islanders and establish a new foundation for cooperation.

In their joint statement, the two leaders affirmed that Solomon Islands and Australia are family with connected futures, and share a region, an ocean and a history of partnership. The longstanding cooperation supports Solomon Islands’ security, economic growth and development priorities.

The announcement marks a recognition that Australia and Solomon Islands are stronger together, and reaffirms the shared vision for a transformational partnership that is based on mutual trust, respect and open dialogue.

This announcement is based on Solomon Islands’ three-tier security framework, first agreed between Prime Ministers in June 2024, constituting a strengthened RSIPF first, support from Melanesian countries second, and from members of the Pacific Islands Forum third.

Australia looks forward to implementing this partnership in a way that not only strengthens Solomon Islands’ domestic security, but also enhances its ability to contribute to regional stability.

By Hun-Bu Tulay Cell #: +231-777-111-032/886-517-356/Email: [email protected] “Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed.” William Faulkner For years, our voices have echoed the clarion call for honesty, integrity, and compassion, standing resolutely against the deep-rooted injustices, rampant corruption, and abuse of power that suffocate our society. Tragically, these passionate appeals have fallen on deaf ears among our politicians, legislators, and judges, leading our beloved nation to the brink of collapse. Our writings have tackled a range of pressing issues: the disheartening performance of our legislature, driven by a debilitating lack of political courage; the insidious politicization of our courts; the widespread reluctance of the public to confront a failing system; and the controversial declaration of a Senate seat as vacant, despite the Election Commission’s prior announcement of a winner. These critical discussions illuminate the ongoing crisis plaguing Liberia,...

Demand for faster, more reliable deliveries in urban areas has never been higher. As online sales and same-day orders increase, retailers and carriers face mounting pressure to optimize last-mile logistics. Rather than relying on distant mega-warehouses, a growing number of companies are embracing small distribution centers within city limits—micro-hubs that shorten transit times and get parcels to customers sooner. By strategically positioning these compact facilities near high-density neighborhoods, businesses can quickly fulfill local orders, reducing the strain on congested roads and cutting down on delivery costs. Pitney Bowes offers a suite of tools and solutions that further refine this approach, providing real-time tracking, automated labeling, and carrier management technologies that integrate seamlessly with these urban distribution networks. Shifting Toward Local Micro-Hubs Many traditional supply chains route all shipments through centralized, large-scale facilities, often located on the outskirts of major metropolitan areas or beyond. Though efficient at handling bulk volumes, these...

Gastos públicos “excessivos” O secretário regional das Finanças foi questionado no Parlamento sobre as medidas do Governo Regional para “controlar os gastos públicos excessivos” e “garantir a sustentabilidade da dívida pública regional”. Rogério Gouveia disse que o rácio da dívida em relação ao PIB é “significativamente inferior” ao do País. “orçamento é um verdadeiro obituário” A deputada à Assembleia Legislativa Regional, Sancha de Campanella, eleita pelo Partido Socialista, apresentou em sede de discussão do Orçamento Regional um conjunto de críticas à atual governação, nomeadamente, nas áreas da Saúde e na área da Cultura.
