SYDNEY (Reuters): Australia said on Sunday it would send additional police to the Solomon Islands to boost security for the Pacific Games in November, keeping them there until June to assist with a general election.
The extended Australian police presence comes after the Solomon Islands upgraded ties with China, signing a policing agreement in July.
