Solomon Islands lawmakers elected Jeremiah Manele as the new prime minister, maintaining a policy of embracing China. Manele, backed by predecessor Sogavare, won with 31 votes, amidst increased security.
The national election's impact on regional security is closely monitored by China, US, and Australia, following Sogavare's security pact with China in 2022.
Australian PM Albanese congratulated Manele, emphasizing strong partnerships. Manele's party aims to enhance infrastructure, forming a coalition to secure parliamentary majority with independents' support.
