Deputy Commissioner Vaevaso said, “The challenges and threats out there are real and serious and let me draw your attention to the November 2021 civil unrest. Our security environment has and will continue to change, therefore we need to stay ahead of these security challenges.”

DC NSOS acknowledged CPLT for the genuine engagement with the Royal Solomon Island Police Force (RSIPF).

“I thank you for these professional support and relationships we share together as a law enforcement family. Thank you for making these sacrifices and commitments to provide these training sessions for RSIPF.”

“I believe we will together build our bilateral cooperation and partnership meaningful and grow it to the next level,” he said.

Deputy Team Leader (DTL) CPLT Mr Xu says RSIPF and CPLT have gained fruitful cooperation, especially officers from both sides have forged close friendship, which is a significant symbol for our progressive cooperation. And we are also impressed by the dedication, professionalism and self-discipline of RSIPF. Aiming to the upcoming Pacific Game 2023, CPLT is willing to support PRT to take proactive operations and contribute more to the security of SI society.
