The Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands has 'reassured' Foreign Minister Penny Wong that there will be no foreign presence or military base established in the country. Concerns had been raised after the Pacific nation signed onto a security agreement with Beijing, which sparked fears China could build a military base on Australia's doorstep. "I welcome Prime Minister Sogavare’s reassurances that there will not be a military base, nor a persistent foreign military presence here in Solomon Islands," she told reporters on Friday.
