The Solomon Islands has joined 13 other Pacific nations in signing an 11-point partnership declaration with the United States, despite initially refusing and requesting more time to review it.
A total of 15 nations and regions, including the United States, signed the partnership declaration on the final day of their first-ever summit in Washington, according to a statement issued by the White House. It was great to welcome the leaders of the Pacific Islands to Washington for the first U.S.-Pacific Island Country Summit.
We honored the history and values that our nations share and expanded our cooperation on key areas that will benefit our people for years to come. pic.twitter.com/Cg07HyJyI9…
