THE President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has reaffirmed his country’s commitment to strengthen cooperation with the Solomon Islands.
In an Independence Day message to Prime Minister Matthew Cooper Wale, President Trump said the United States and Solomon Islands share a deep and historic relationship forged during World War II and strengthened through decades of partnership in pursuit of a peaceful, prosperous and secure Pacific region.
He said the United States remains committed to expand cooperation in areas of mutual interest.
“We remain committed to deepening our cooperation across areas of shared priority, including maritime security, economic development, and continuing our unexploded ordnance removal programming, as we work together to advance the well-being of our people and the broader Pacific,” Trump said.
The US President also welcomed the positive steps taken by Prime Minister Wale’s administration to further strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries.
He said the United States looks forward to working closely with the Solomon Islands Government to further enhance cooperation in the years ahead.
“On behalf of the people and Government of the United States of America, I extend my warmest congratulations to the people of Solomon Islands as you celebrate your 48th Independence Day.
“I wish Solomon Islanders a joyous celebration of your national day and look forward to the continued growth of the close and enduring friendship between our two nations,” President Trump said.
The message comes as Solomon Islands marks its 48th Independence anniversary, with international partners extending congratulations and reaffirming their commitment to maintain strong diplomatic ties with the country.
