ACCORDING to Radio New Zealand International news bulletins last week, New Zealand is to contribute up to $US4.4 million dollars for the redevelopment of a multi-purpose facility in the Solomon Islands capital, Honiara.
It was reported that the NZ Deputy Prime Minister, Paula Bennett, said Honiara had a large population of young people and ensuring they had access to sporting and educational facilities was important for the country’s future.
