Sogavare said he was delighted with the supportive role of his government, including the past government and officials, and that have played in facilitating the process of the development of the new USP Solomon Islands Campus.

He said the regional university has grown considerably since its inauguration in 1998.

He was accompanied by Works Minister Francis Awesa and State Enterprises Minister Ben Micah who were on board the government owned Falcon jet.

The prime minister will officially open the Pacific Marine Industrial Zone at Vidar.

The project will provide a major boost to the local economy, but has been subjected to protests and a court challenge.
