Australia will be one of the key players in supporting the country host the 2023 Pacific Games as they will support with the refurbishment of accommodation, classrooms, and common facilities in many of the schools in the capital to accommodate the athletes.
Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare highlighted Australia’s support during the commissioning of the National Hosting Authority (NHA) Secretariat in Honiara this week.
He stated that Australia’s support is one of the reasons why Solomon Islands will deliver the best Pacific games ever and, also ensure that “we achieve the best-ever performance from our athletes to reach the highest-ever medals tally for our country.”
Sogavare said he and his Australian counterpart, Prime Minister Scott Morrison, agreed during his visit here last year that Australia will support his government’s preparation for the 17th Pacific Games. He adds their support would go towards selected games facilities such as the SINIS (Solomon Islands Nationals Institute of Sports), refurbishment of accommodation, classrooms, and common facilities in many of “our schools in the capital to accommodate athletes during the games and training of elite athletes through the SINIS and abroad.”
He announced that the NHA would be working closely with the Australian High Commissioner and his team to refine the areas that the Government of Australia will support the government in to deliver a successful 2023 Pacific Games.
