In a significant development for the Solomon Islands, Prime Minister Hon. Jeremiah Manele MP has officially launched the National Security Strategy 2025, marking a pivotal step towards a safer, more secure, and prosperous future for the nation.
During the launch, Prime Minister Manele emphasized that the strategy represents a collective vision and a comprehensive roadmap for enhancing the nation’s security, protecting its sovereignty, and fostering sustainable development amid complex global challenges.
With the theme “United for Security: A Collective Vision for a Resilient & Prosperous Solomon Islands,” Manele highlighted the interconnectedness of national security with the well-being of citizens, the resilience of institutions, and the preservation of the environment.
The NSS-2025 aligns with Goal Five of the National Development Strategy 2016-2035 and reinforces the government’s four essential pillars: Economic Transformation, Unity and Stability, Infrastructure Development, and Human Capital Development.
The Prime Minister stressed that the success of this strategy is a shared responsibility among all Solomon Islanders—citizens, communities, and institutions must actively participate in its implementation. The government commits to leading the initiative, supported by the active involvement of the public.
Manele called upon all stakeholders, including government ministries, law enforcement agencies, local authorities, and citizens, to adopt and implement the principles and goals outlined in the NSS-2025.
He also thanked Minister for Police, National Security, and Correctional Services Hon. Jimson Tanangada MP, and all contributors to the strategy’s development, acknowledging their efforts as foundational for a secure and prosperous future for the Solomon Islands.
