High commissioner meets Solomons PM

Sydney Morning Herald news
March 19, 2007 - 7:04PM

Australia's new high commissioner to the Solomon Islands has finally met with Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare after being kept waiting for weeks due to a diplomatic dispute with Canberra.
Peter Hooton presented his letter of introduction to Sogavare on Monday afternoon and was introduced to the Solomons Cabinet.
Sogavare told reporters after the meeting that it was an important milestone on the way to resuming dialogue and getting the relationship between Honiara and Canberra back on track.
"It is therefore important that we mend this relationship. What happened today is a giant step forward," he said.
Australia and the Solomons were close neighbours with much in common as Australia was much involved in the development of Pacific countries, Sogavare said.
Hooton also said the meeting was a good one.
"The dynamics were positive. The PM went through the issues, as he sees them, and I listened very carefully to that," he said.
"It's good that I can do the rest of the job now.
"I think we still have a lot of work to do, but this is a good step in the right direction."
Sogavare last week said he would meet Hooton in a bid to repair relations, despite Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer's refusal to apologise for an open letter he wrote to Solomon Islanders.
Sogavare was incensed by the letter, published in local newspapers last month, accusing him of trying to tarnish the reputation of the Australian-led Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI).
Since his election as prime minister in May last year, Sogavare has made it clear he wants less RAMSI influence in his government and less Australian influence in RAMSI.
In his letter, Downer called on Solomon Islanders to support RAMSI and oppose Sogavare's plans to rearm police, a plan the prime minister has since dropped following widespread public opposition.
Last year, Sogavare ejected former Australian High Commissioner Patrick Cole, accusing him of interfering in Solomons political affairs and trying to undermine a planned commission of inquiry into last year's April riots in Honiara.
RAMSI arrived in 2003 to restore law and order and good governance following years of ethnic unrest.
