Solomon Islands Prime Minister, Manesseh Sogavare arrived in the country on Monday to complete his visit of MSG capitals as chairman of the Melanesian Spearhead Group.
According to his press secretary Deli Oso, Sogavare already visited two other MSG capitals of Port Vila, Vanuatu, and Suva, Fiji in January.
He did not travel to Port Moresby because his counterpart, Peter O’Neil was unavailable at the time.
Sogavare also met New Caledonia’s FLNKs representative in his January visit to Port Vila.
And while in Suva, Sogavare witnessed the signing of the new Melanesian Free Trade Agreement by Fiji’s Prime Minister, Frank Bainimarama.
He described Bainimarama’s signing of the new MSG Free Trade Agreement as a milestone for the Melanesian sub-regional grouping.
Fiji was second to Solomon Islands to have signed the new Free Trade Agreement.
Although the Prime Minister’s Office has yet to confirm the issues the two MSG leaders are likely to discuss in Port Moresby, the issue of PNG signing the new MSG Free Trade Agreement may be raised.
Vanuatu and New Caledonia are yet to sign the new sub-regional free trade agreement.
Sogavare will return to Honiara on March 19.
