Foreign Policy
Solomon Islands' foreign policy under PM Manele has sought to balance its China security relationship with traditional partnerships with Australia and the US. The country's strategic location in the South Pacific, WWII history, and willingness to engage with China give it outsized diplomatic influence for its size.
Key priorities include development assistance, climate adaptation, and leveraging great-power competition for maximum benefit.
MUN Delegate Guide
As the Solomon Islands, use your position at the center of Pacific great-power competition to maximum advantage. Every major power wants your alignment -- extract development commitments from all sides.
Coordinate with the Pacific Islands Forum and the Melanesian Spearhead Group. Make climate change and sea-level rise existential priorities. Your WWII heritage (Guadalcanal) can be invoked to remind major powers of their obligations to the Pacific. Push for concrete development outcomes, not just security promises.
