Finding the root causes of any conflict is vital for peaceful coexistence in the country.
Lottie Vaisekavea, Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Traditional Governance, Peace and Ecclesiastical Affairs (MTGPEA) spoke briefly about this at a “Peacebuilding and Security Dialogue” last week at King Solomon Hotel.
He stressed that Solomon Islands population is about 700,00 and soon it will reach a million thus we must find the root causes of conflicts so that people can build positive realities into the future.
Vaisekavea said this has to be something we can grasp that is filled with hope in our personal, family and communal capacities so that we can all work together and take hold of the future.
“Henceforth, we have to go to the roots and see what we can do.”
He voiced that to be able to truly achieve peace, peacebuilding must be at the forefront of our nation building; a political priority that we must live by and prioritize.
“It is only natural for us to want a better Solomon Islands, a better legacy and foundation for our children.”
