Solomon Islands look forward to strengthening ties with Peru and working closely to explore new areas for collaboration, said Prime Minister Manele.
As Solomon Islands moves toward graduating from Least Developed Country, LDC, status by 2027, the relationship with Peru becomes even more vital,” said PM Manele.
Peru’s prominence as a global producer of minerals such as gold and copper presents exciting opportunities for Solomon Islands to explore partnerships in these areas.
“With Peru’s position as a top gold producer, there are valuable lessons to be learned from your experience. We hope to explore and increase engagements in mining and other industries such as agriculture, tourism, fisheries, trade and investment and forestry.
The Prime Minister accentuated Solomon Islands’ National Development Strategy (NDS) 2016–2035, which lays out the country’s priorities for inclusive economic growth, improved healthcare and education, environmental sustainability, and strong governance.
Ambassador Gallardo Valencia also emphasized the importance of promoting knowledge exchanges and training programs, particularly in the fields of manufacturing, agriculture, and eco-tourism, as both countries work towards sustainable development and economic diversification.
Prime Minister Manele expressed gratitude for Ambassador Gallardo Valencia’s commitment and extended best wishes as he embarks on his new assignment.
