The Solomon Islands Government has publicly acknowledged the significant contributions of the Chinese Community, particularly the Solomon Islands Chinese Association to the nation’s economic development.
Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele highlighted this during the handover ceremony of the police post in Chinatown on Tuesday.
He commended the Chinese community’s resilience, especially the business houses and members of the Solomon Islands Chinese Association who have repeatedly rebuilt and modernized Chinatown in the face of challenges like riots and floods, while preserving its unique identity.
The Government expressed deep honor and gratitude for the ongoing support and contributions of the Chinese Association and other Chinese community members.
The PM said their efforts have been instrumental in fostering commercial and economic growth in Honiara and across the Solomon Islands, creating job opportunities and generating income for the local population over many years.
The Government looks forward to their continued partnership in the nation’s progress.
