MEXICAN AMBASSADOR TO SOLOMON ISLANDS PRESENTS CREDENTIALS
The Mexican Ambassador to Solomon Islands, His Excellency Eduardo Patricio Pena Haller has presented his Credentials to the Governor General, His Excellency Sir Frank Kabui in Honiara today 05th April, 2018.
Ambassador Eduardo Patricio Pena Haller expressed his excitement and determination to deepen and enhance the relation between Mexico and Solomon Islands.
He said bilateral trade has been small and steady for the last ten years, but there is so much more that can be done to intensify relations and the exchanges between the two countries.
“After a decade of diplomatic relations, not a single bilateral treaty or agreement has been signed between the Solomon Islands and Mexico, and I would like to humbly propose that we change that perspective,” Ambassador Pena Haller said.
“Through the High commission of the Solomon Islands in Australia, the government of Mexico has proposed the signing of agreements in areas such as investment protection, legal assistance, cultural and technical cooperation, protection of cultural heritage and visa suppression, just to name a few,” he said.
“Topics such as management of natural resources, environmental protection and climate change rank high among our shared priorities. I have personally set to work towards the development of projects in these areas. I look forward to establishing people to people networks in science, education and diplomacy, among others,” he added.
Ambassador Haller pledged to increase the awareness in respective business communities about enhancing trade and exploiting any opportunities that are available.
