RSIPF Farewell four CPLT officers after deployment in SI

The Royal Solomon Island Police Force (RSIPF) has farewelled four China Police Liaison Team (CPLT) members at Rove police headquarters on 10 August 2026.

The four-member team who were farewelled were working closely with different departments in the RSIPF for the past six months to boost the capability of the RSIPF in different training and community engagement programmes.

Acting Commissioner of RSIPF Mr James Aitorea thanked the CPLT members for the great support rendered to the RSIPF during their deployment in the Solomon Islands (SI).

Commissioner Aitorea said, “I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to CPLT for your outstanding work and dedication shown through the numerous different projects that have led to the continued development and cooperation between our two countries.”

Commissioner RSIPF Aitorea congratulates the departing four CPLT members for the outstanding job they did during their deployment in the SI.

CPLT Commissioner Mr. Bai Haitao said, 'Standing here today, seeing our four departing officers being honoured by the RSIPF leaders, my heart is filled with immense pride and profound appreciation.'

Commissioner Bai Haitao said today is a day of mixed feelings. We are here to celebrate four exceptional officers who have successfully completed their mission in the SI.

He said six months ago they left their families in China and travelled thousands of miles to the "Hapi Isles". They didn't just bring their professional expertise; they brought their hearts, their dedication, and an unshakeable commitment to serving alongside our RSIPF brothers and sisters.

“From high-level strategic liaison and tactical training to crime investigation and community outreach, these four officers worked shoulder-to-shoulder with you every single day. They walked through your communities, trained under the hot sun, and shared in every challenge and triumph.

Because of their devotion—and because of your open arms—our bilateral policing cooperation is not just a partnership on paper but a vibrant, deeply trusted, and unbreakable brotherhood on the ground,”

said CPLT Commissioner Bai Haitao.

Representative of the outgoing CPLT, Inspector Wang Yang has acknowledged the RSIPF for being a good friend, though the deployment is completed. “As we prepare to return home, we carry with us not only proud memories of our joint achievements, but also a deep and lasting friendship. We remain fully confident in the future of RSIPF and look forward to the continued growth of bilateral police cooperation.”
