“The recent three days visit by Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) Prime Minister James Marape has further uplifted the relations between the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea, according to Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare.
“Marape brought with him a delegation of over 50 businessmen and women from PNG to explore and establish business relations with local Solomon Islands business establishments, a statement from Government Communication Unit said.
“The relationship between the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea has started well before both countries established diplomatic relations more than 40 years ago based on shared history, blood ties, cultural links and connections, common interests, mutual respect, dialogue, and cooperation.
“Our relationship has grown from strength to strength over the years and your visit to the Solomon Islands will cement our relations even further.”
