Honiara, Solomon Islands — Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele yesterday (June 2) unveiled this year’s 47th Independence Anniversary Theme as the country counts down towards the event on July 7.
This year’s anniversary will be celebrated on the Theme “Unity and Stability for Transformation and Prosperity”.
Manele said the theme reflects the Government for National Unity and Transformation (GNUT’s) strategic direction and commitment to an inclusive, stable, and forward-looking development.
This aligns with GNUT’s four key policy pillars, which include economic transformation, infrastructure development, unity and stability, and human capital development.
“Together, these pillars provide the foundation for rebuilding and progressing the Solomon Islands,” he said.
He further announced that the revived National Trade Fair set for the first week of July will be a key feature leading up to the Independence Day celebration.
The weeklong trade fair will allow local businesses and companies to showcase their products and services. This event is designed to promote local products, businesses, innovations, and culture.
The 2025 Annual National Trade Fair (2025ANTF) will be celebrated on the theme: “Trade for Transformation – Rebuilding Our Happy Isles.”
The event marks the first national trade fair (show) since 2014, signaling the revival of a major platform for promoting innovation, showcasing local products, and connecting Solomon Islanders across all sectors of commerce, culture, and creativity.
