(Suva Comprehensive) Australian Prime Minister Albanis, Albanis, said with Soloma Prime Minister Sogovre, the Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands on Wednesday (July 13), said that he is "very confident" and the Solomon Islands will not sign with China because of signing China.The new security agreement allows Beijing to build a military base on the island.

Australia has always been the close security and economic partner country of the Solomon Islands, but in April this year, it is reported that the Solomon Islands signed a security agreement with the Chinese government, which shakes the relationship between the Australian institutes.
The draft of the China -China Agreement disclosed that Chinese warships are allowed to park the Solomon Islands only 2,000 kilometers from the Australian coast.The specific details of the agreement have not yet been made public.
Albanis was interviewed by the Australian media on Thursday that his meeting with Sogovre was "constructive" and reiterated that his "very confident" Solomon would not build a Chinese military base.
Albanis said that Australia respects the Solomon Islands as a "sovereign country" and can develop its own diplomatic agreement.However, based on the national interests of Australia, he explained to Sogovare's concerns about Australia.
He said: "Establish a military base in such a place near Australia, which does not meet the interests of Australia."
In addition, Sogovre stated that it will not set up foreign military bases in the Solomon Islands because this will make Solomon a "military blow" goal.
Sogovre: Ao is Solomon's preferred safety partner
The Guardian reported that Sogvarre confirmed in an interview that Australia is still the "preferred safety partner" of the Solomon Islands.He said that only when the Solomon Islands' safety needs cannot be met in Australia, the security agreement with China will come in handy when the safety coverage of the Solomon Islands appears "gap".
Sogovre said that establishing a military base in the Solomon Islands will destroy regional security. "This will make our country and the people a potential military strike goal.Military goals. "
Sogovre also said: "Let me guarantee again that there are no military bases in the agreement, and there are no other military facilities or institutions."
