We wish to extend to you our sincere greetings and congratulation as our country celebrates its 47th years of nationhood on 7th July 2025.
As we celebrate, let us reflect on the great visions of our forgone leaders for their struggles for our freedom and sovereignty. Let us also acknowledge successive leaderships for chartering the nation through good and unpredictable times to where we are today for the past 47 years.
This year’s theme, “Unity and Stability for Transformation and Prosperity” reminds us to remain united in all our efforts in shaping a better and more prosperous destiny for our younger generations, and to embrace transformation as opportunity for growth and progress for the good of our people now and into the future.
Our Ministry remains committed to uphold, promote, and fulfil the rights of women, young people, children and families through effective partnership, inclusiveness, fairness and creating equal opportunities to advance the wellbeing of the nation.
Happy 47th Independence celebrations and May God bless Solomon Islands.
Ends//////////////
