The Solomon Islands has denied suggestions by Australia and others its policing deal with Beijing is “a threat to the Pacific region peace” and says China will enhance the capability of its 1,500 police officers in cybersecurity and community policing.
The United States, Australia, New Zealand and Solomon Islands’ opposition party have called for Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare to “immediately” publish details of the policing deal signed in Beijing on Monday, amid concern it will invite further regional contest.
In a statement on Friday, Sogavare’s office said the Pacific Islands nation was broadening its security partnerships, and Chinese police will add to the existing Australian and New Zealand policing support.
