In the recent meeting with Solomon Islands’ Prime Minister Sogavare, the visiting US high level delegation reiterated the key priorities animating the trip and also outlined specific steps the United States would take to advance the welfare of the people of Solomon Islands. The United States will expedite the opening of an embassy in Solomon Islands; advance cooperation on unexploded ordinance; launch a program on maritime domain awareness; dispatch the Mercy hospital ship to address public health; advance a dialogue on the return of the Peace Corps; deliver additional vaccines; and advance initiatives on climate, health, and people-to-people ties.

Fine, but did I miss something – the assurance to extend US development to other province other than a concentration on just one province, as is the case currently?
I’m sure I saw such a promise having been made, but the assurance I would like to see confirmed.
