Solomon

King Solomon was known for his wisdom.

Honiara is the capital of the Solomon Islands.

Solomon wants to be a writer.

Solomon and his father David were prophets of God.

The UK established a protectorate over the Solomon Islands in the 1890s.

Self-government for the Solomon Islands came in 1976 and independence two years later.

“Existing buildings already have a lot of embodied energy that has gone into creating them, and as long as we can get them a new lease on life, then that can be a very sustainable thing to do,” says Strachan Forgan, an architect and principal at Solomon Cordwell Buenz.

This week, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman spoke with Solomon Islands Foreign Minister Jeremiah Manele about plans to reopen the U.S. Embassy in Honiara and what U.S. officials described as “joint efforts to broaden and deepen engagement” between the two countries.

China should establish a military base in the Solomon Islands.

"Does China want to build a military base in the Solomon Islands?" "Do you ask the same question when the United States adds a new overseas military base to the 1000 bases it already has across the world?"
