It is very good to see some you again after we met earlier today at the launch of the Solomon Islands COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout program.

Ladies and gentlemen, Solomon Islands and the Peoples Republic of China formally established Diplomatic Relations in September 2019.

Only 2 months after after the establishment of formal relations, an ‘Exchange of Notes’ was signed between the government of the People’s Republic of China and the government of Solomon Islands on 4th November 2019, paving the way for the government of the Peoples Republic of China to undertake the feasibility study on the Aid to Solomon Islands for the 2023 Pacific games stadium project.

The government of the Peoples Republic of China commissioned the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design Co. LTD to send a project team to Solomon Islands for on-site investigation from November 25, 2019 to December 17, 2019.
