PM's Message to the nation
Happy Christmas to you.
People has celebrated Christmas in different styles.
Some have celebrated with much food, other quietly with the family and others with sports. Solomon Islands' Prime Minister took the opportunity to address the nation with a message on this festive season.
Christmas and New Year Message - Prime Minister Manasseh Damukana Sogavare The Prime Minister spoke about many things during his Christmas and New Year Message to the nation.
They include unsustainable harvesting of forestry resources, concern for the environment, the sick, investment and many others. In this Post I am highlighting his comments on the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands and development partners. Also in this Post is his comment on the country's future and the challenge ahead.
Below is part of the transcript of Mr Sogavare's comments on issues.
Intervention Mission and Development Partners
"Secondly, we are duty bound to thank our friends who are here to help us. In particular, the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands for their continual assistance in the challenging task of consolidating normalcy in our country; and of course our traditional development partners and their involvement in the various sectors of the economy.
As in all cases, Solomon Islands expects the observation of basic rules of relationship. Suffice it to say at the outset, active and meaningful partnership is the manner in which Solomon Islands will continue to relate to the involvement of our friends in the development of our country. Paramount in this relationship is mutual respect, which must be based on the principles of honesty and truth, rather than dirty politics and the desire to deliberately undermine our sovereignty.
The democratic right of our people to have a government that represents their interest must at all times be respected. In that regard, we would consider any plans by foreign interests to topple the democratically elected government of Solomon Islands as an unfriendly act and will appropriately respond.
Development Partners
Moreover, we would also like to make it abundantly clear that Solomon Islands has bilateral relations with all our development partners with whom we have diplomatic ties and we treat all of them as equals.
In that regard we insist that our right to enjoy the full benefit of our relationship with any particular development partner must not in any way be undermined by any one. This includes financial assistance that arises from that relationship, which must be based on the merit of that relationship and governed by any understanding reached bilaterally.
We expect all donor partners to respect that position as a minimum understanding for a fruitful relationship and we would hate to be placed in a situation where we would be forced to view any interference as an unfriendly act. May the spirit of this Christmas elevate our friendship to a better understanding and respect for each other.
Solomon Islands' future
Finally, in the process of charting out our future, we should determine to avoid repeating our sad past and resolve to steer this country to joy, peace and prosperity.
Indeed, if there is a time in the history of this country that Solomon Islanders are strategically located to learn from the past, it has to be this generation. We are duty bound as Solomon Islanders to be responsible and resolve to work together as a people united in the common cause of taking this country forward.
May the spirit of this holy season inspire us to forget our differences and to work together for the common good of our people and nation.
I cannot think of any other way. Our country has suffered enough and it is not in our interest to continue to build little barriers to isolate ourselves from each other. May the spirit of Christmas help us to remember.
Home Challenge
On the domestic front, lasting peace and national unity remains our biggest challenge.
The achievement of lasting peace is a task that requires the active participation of every stakeholder, addressing the issues that really matter with utmost sensitivity. It is worrying that the strategy so far has been very heavily focused on punishing those who have been forced by the environment created during the crisis to commit crime. This is a backward look to addressing our problems.
In fact one is fully justified to ask whether the huge investment in this program, that only financially benefit foreign companies that run our prisons, will address the deep rooted problems of this country. We cannot continue to live in the past. Solomon Islands must move forward. This calls for a totally new approach and emphasis. In this regard I would like to assure all peace loving Solomon Islanders that the government is seriously looking at this issue."
MyBlog hopes to publish other parts of the Prime Minister's message in future posts.
It has been a Happy Christmas. MyBlog wishes you a Prosperous New Year, 2007.
