Message:

To fellow Solomon Islanders living everywhere, our visitors and our well – wishers, warm greetings to you on this day of our Independence.

Today we mark a momentous milestone in the history of our land we love. Forty – Three years ago we embarked on a mission to exchange our status as a colony for that of independent nation. We have received congratulations and good wishes on this anniversary from all across the globe.

The warm sentiment in those messages from like minded nations, confirm the rightness of our decision to pursue the independence mission. As a country our patriotism is seen in the vibrant Solomon colours. In this spite of patriotism, every Solomon Islander must “ find the flag in our hearts” and wave it high

Happy Birthday Solomon Islands
