CARETAKER Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare on Sunday bade farewell to the Governor General His Excellency Sir David Vunagi as the latter departed for Australia for medical check.
Caretaker Prime Minister Sogavare, Speaker of National Parliament Patteson Oti, Chief Justice Sir Albert Palmer and Commissioner of Police Mostyn Mangau were amongst dignitaries who made it to the Honiara International Airport VIP Lounge to wish Sir David well during his medical trip.
The Governor General is accompanied by Lady Mary Vunagi and five officials.
The Head of State has a friendly and sincere relationship with the outgoing DCGA Government.
The 11th Parliament was the only Parliament which began each of its meeting with an Address to Parliament by the representative of His Majesty King Charles III, the Head of State of Solomon Islands.
In his final Speech from the Throne to the 11th Parliament, Sir David congratulated the Sogavare-led Democratic Coalition Government for advancing sound leadership and judgement of critical decisions for the country and its people during COVID-19 community transmission and November 2021 Honiara riots.
Sir David has faith in the Caretaker Prime Minister to uphold the country’s motto of servient leadership.
The Governor General and his delegation will return at the end of this month.
