Govt to Increase Presence At SI-PNG Maritime Border
Govt to Increase Presence At SI-PNG Maritime Border
The Solomon Islands Government is increasing its presence at the SI-PNG maritime border soon with the building of housing for border control officers at Taro, Choiseul Province.
The Housing project for the border post at Taro has been built with the backing of donor agencies
The houses will be used by agencies that will monitor the PNG-Solomon Islands border.
The staff houses have been funded by AusAID in partnership with the Solomon Islands Government. The ten houses are near completion and are being built within the premises of the Taro Police Station.
The government has wasted no time in injecting much needed funds and establishing its border post at the far-flung Choiseul Province.
The Choiseul Province lies between the island of Bougainville and Santa Isabel in the west of the Solomon Islands.
Taro, the main town for Choiseul Province with a population of more than 10,000 people, is known as Solomon Islands’ ‘last frontier.’
The province is the closest to Bougainville and shares the same border with PNG.
