He also said: We are not under any pressure from new friends, and we have no intention of establishing a military base in the Solomon Islands.The Solomon Islands broke diplomatic relations with Taiwan in 2019 and turned to establish diplomatic relations with mainland China.

The Solomon Islands have long been regarded as Australia and New Zealand as their main security partners, but since the establishment of diplomatic relations with China, this island country has quickly approached Beijing.

Australia, New Zealand and the United States expressed concerns about the security agreement between the Solomon Islands and China, because the leaked draft shows that the Solomon Islands will allow Chinese soldiers and warships to enter this Pacific island country with important strategic positions.

New Zealand Prime Minister Adon said on Monday that this is a potential regional militaryization.Australian Defense Minister Daton said that if the agreement causes China to establish a military base in the Pacific region, Canberra will be worried.
