Manasseh Sogavare tells the UN General Assembly the Solomons had endured ‘a barrage of unwarranted and misplaced criticisms, misinformation and intimidations’

The prime minister of the Solomon Islands told the United Nations General Assembly on Friday that his country had been maligned over its closer relationship with China to the point of “intimidation”.

In a speech that included language that echoed Beijing’s, Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare also decried Washington’s engagement with Taiwan and its plan to supply Australia with nuclear-powered submarines through the Aukus alliance announced last year.

He also took a swipe at Japan for Tokyo’s decision to dump radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the ocean.
