Solomon Islands Prime Minister Matthew Wale will visit New Zealand this week for talks with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.<\/p>\n
“It’s only been a few weeks since Mr Wale became Prime Minister, so I’m pleased to welcome him to New Zealand so soon,” Mr Luxon says. “Solomon Islands is an important partner for us, and a country I enjoyed visiting last year.”<\/p>\n
“I’m looking forward to hearing Prime Minister Wale\u2019s priorities and finding ways we can work more closely together.”<\/p>\n
New Zealand has a longstanding partnership with Solomon Islands covering education, economic development, fisheries and policing.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Wale will be accompanied by Foreign Minister Rick Houenipwela and Education Minister Stephen Kumi. He will also meet Foreign Minister Winston Peters and spend time with the Solomon Islands community in New Zealand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
