Tourism Push: A new World Bank report says the Pacific can rebound with higher-value adventure and cultural tourism—international arrivals hit 1.8 million pre-pandemic, then revenue plunged 81% in 2020—so the focus now is sustainable, inclusive growth. Mining Momentum: Sankamap Metals has launched its inaugural drill program at Kuma in Solomon Islands, targeting lithocap-linked zones with a fully funded 2,000–3,000m plan. Education & Faith Build: Salvation Army has broken ground on a new three-storey school and church complex in Boroko, adding Grade 11–12 classrooms alongside worship space in Papua New Guinea. Connectivity Drive: Pacific Energy and Transport Ministers wrapped PRETMM6 with the Manubada Call to Action, pushing faster energy access and scaled maritime links for a “Prosperous Blue Pacific.” Solomons Politics: Jeremiah Manele was ousted in a no-confidence vote; a new PM election is set for May 15. Environment Enforcement: Solomon Islands has gazetted a single-use plastics ban starting 1 September.
