JAPAN Ambassador to the Solomon Islands, Miwa Yoshiaki, has reaffirmed his country’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the Solomon Islands’ education sector.

He emphasized this commitment during the handover of a newly built two-story classroom at Numbu Community High School in North East Guadalcanal last Friday.

“Japan will continue to aid in the education field in terms of infrastructure for all sectors, tertiary assistance, and capacity building in the workplaces…to cultivate a cordial relationship between Japan and Solomon Islands,” he said.

Japan is also providing support to the Solomon Islands National University (SINU) proposed Center of Excellence for Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry.

Ambassador Miwa highlighted that the center would play a crucial role in research and gathering essential data for these key sectors.

“This is for the purpose of research and gathering information on our priority sector and feeding our center of excellence hub with the required raw resources to learn,” ambassador Miwa added

He noted that this hub would be a worthwhile initiative as current and future will utilize the resources provided and in turn, contribute to the community and the country.
