SYDNEY - The Solomon Islands, one of Taiwan’s few remaining diplomatic allies, has formed a team of ministers to talk to Beijing ahead of a possible switch in ties that could be unveiled as early as this week, the chief of a parliamentary panel said.
“There’s a certain thinking with the current government and executive to switch,” Peter Kenilorea, an opposition lawmaker who chairs a foreign relations parliamentary committee, told Reuters.A task force charged with evaluating the Taiwan ties returned from a tour of Pacific nations allied to China just before a mid-August visit to Beijing by eight Solomons ministers and the prime minister’s private secretary.
Mutual interactions recently have been “normal,” the ministry added, including the signing of a visa-waiver agreement last month by Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu and Sogavare. “At this point, it remains unclear whether the Solomon Islands government will agree on a switch to China or remain with the status quo,” it told Reuters in an emailed statement.
That money goes to a controversial health development fund that anti-graft agency Transparency Solomon Islands says has links to vote-buying.
