AFP Commissioner Kershaw met with the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) Commissioner Mostyn Mangau and other international partners to discuss the COVID-19 outbreak in the region and the current security situation.
The AFP and partner agencies responded to a request on 25 November 2021 from the Solomon Islands Government to help the RSIPF restore calm in Honiara following civil unrest.
A contingent of AFP members was deployed to the region in November 2021, with eight of those now returning home for a belated Christmas celebration with their families and friends. They arrived at Defence Establishment Fairbairn in Canberra on Saturday, 29 January 2022.
A total of 62 AFP members remains in the Solomon Islands and will continue to support the RSIPF as they peacefully manage the current situation in Honiara.
