The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) Director National Response Department Chief Superintendent Francis Ramoni is calling on the general public to work with the police during the two regional meetings in Honiara.

There is also the upcoming 54th Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting (PIFLM) that is to be held from 8 to 12 September in Honiara.

Francis Ramoni made the call when he spoke at the SIBC Radio talkback show on Sunday, August 24, 2025.

“I would like to urge our general public to be patient with us because mainly there will number of traffic escorts during the movement of our leaders from the airport to their accommodation as well as to the meeting opening ceremony venue.

“We need your support,” he said.

He also appeals to people in Noro Town in the Western province to work with the police during the leaders’ retreat in Noro.

“I would like to urge our good people down at the Western Province, particularly in Noro, to be supportive and bring moral support,” he said.

 “Our good leaders are visiting us in a couple of weeks,” said Ramoni.
