It would also give authority for Solomon Islands to have jurisdiction as RAMSI officers have preserved criminal disciplinary jurisdiction.
Mr Suri says his counter-part has confirmed receiving the requests and that the Tongan cabinet met yesterday to deliberate on the two requests, but no official reply to the requests have been made.

The Tongan Solicitor General is expected to brief Mr Suri and formally deliver the Tongan Government's decision when they meet.
