Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

At the request of the Solomon Islands Government following the November 2021 riots in Honiara, the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China dispatched a Police Liaison Team consisting of 9 members to assist the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) and planned to provide several batches of police equipment. Then, on February 22, 2022, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security delivered 18,000 pieces of police equipment — including uniforms, protective equipment, dispersive equipment, restrictive equipment, and warning equipment — worth RMB 9.86 million to the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force. The handover ceremony was attended by Solomon Islands Police Minister Hon. Anthony Veke, Solomon Islands Police Commissioner Mostyn Mangau, PRC Ambassador to the Solomon Islands Li Ming, China Police Liaison Team Leader Commissioner Zhang, and senior officials of both governments. The Chinese Government also agreed to (a) support a Digital Mobile Radio Communication System for Honiara, a Forensic Autopsy Laboratory (see Record ID#108705), and an “I-24/7” Interpol Communication System; and (b) have its China Police Liaison Team train the RSIPF, including on the use of equipment, police techniques and tactics, public order management, riot control, and close personnel protection.
