The Solomon Islands will host the 25th Asia-Pacific Heads of Maritime Safety Agencies (APHoMSA) Forum from April 13–17 at the National Aquatic Centre in Honiara.
The forum is organised by the Solomon Islands Maritime Authority (SIMA) with support from the APHoMSA Secretariat, a statement from SIMA yesterday said.
This event will bring together over 50 maritime leaders and senior officials from 21 Asia-Pacific countries along with five partner organisations.
The forum marks a significant milestone for the nation’s maritime sector and highlights Solomon Islands’ growing leadership in ocean governance.
Maritime transport is important for the country’s connectivity and livelihoods, and hosting APHoMSA reflects the confidence of member states in Solomon Islands’ role in regional cooperation, the statement said.
Delegates will engage in technical discussions on maritime safety and development, while also experiencing the country’s warm hospitality and rich maritime heritage.
