Government remains divided over China situation

In an article in the Solomon Star, the Solomon Star says that its sources within the Government confirm that there is a split within the DCGA Government over the China situation. (Source: Solomon Star, 24 May 2019)

This appears to contradict the statement from Prime Minister Sogavare that the DCGA Government was united on the China situation. At this stage, the press have not identified by name which Members in particular are in favour of switching to China except to say that the Members are from Guadalcanal and Malaita provinces. The uncertainty over whether Solomon Islands will establish diplomatic ties with China continues.
