The Solomon Star newspaper reported the Solomons minister for communication was invited by Australia along with his PNG counterpart for the discussions.
The delegations were briefed on Australia’s internet policies, its communication market and legislation as well as legal regimes for landing and operating and protecting a submarine cable and the processes for obtaining permits.
The US$2.2 million project is being partly funded by Australia and will see the construction of a 4000km long high-speed internet cable connecting the two Melanesian countries and Australia.
The Australian company Vocus has been contracted for the new cable deal. which has replaced a controversial arrangement brokered by the previous government led by Manasseh Sogavare with Huawei for a shorter cable connecting Honiara to Sydney.
