Country Profile

Flag of Solomon Islands

The Solomon Islands is a country of over 900 islands, 5,000 rural villages and 550,000 people, and one of the poorest in the Pacific. Between 1999 and 2003 it suffered a period of violent conflict, followed by lawlessness confined to Guadalcanal, which has taken its toll on the country with a need for reconciliation and ongoing peace and security measures.
