SYDNEY: The Solomon Islands government has told the United States that it will place a moratorium on navy vessels entering its ports, the US embassy in Canberra said on Tuesday (Aug 30).<\/p>\n

The notice follows an incident last Tuesday when a US Coast Guard vessel, the Oliver Henry, was unable to enter Solomon Islands for a routine port call because the government did not respond to a request for it to refuel and provision.<\/p>\n

The Solomon Islands has had a tense relationship with the United States and its allies since striking a security pact with China earlier this year.<\/p>\n

“On Aug 29, the United States received formal notification from the government of Solomon Islands regarding a moratorium on all naval visits, pending updates in protocol procedures,” the embassy said in a statement.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare earlier denied the reports of a moratorium, and told Reuters that Sogavare would make a speech on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Sogavare would make a speech to welcome a US navy hospital ship, Mercy, which arrived in Honiara on Monday for a two week mission, he said.<\/p>\n

The embassy said Mercy had arrived before the moratorium.<\/p>\n

“The US Navy ship Mercy received diplomatic clearance prior to the moratorium being implemented. \u00a0We will continue to closely monitor the situation,” the embassy said.<\/p>\n

Last week, the US Coast Guard vessel Oliver Henry was on patrol for illegal fishing in the South Pacific for a regional fisheries agency when it failed to obtain entry to refuel at Honiara, the Solomon Islands’ capital.<\/p>\n

A US State Department spokesperson on Monday said that the “lack of diplomatic clearance for the Oliver Henry was regrettable”, and the United States was pleased the Mercy had received clearance.<\/p>\n

The Mercy’s humanitarian mission, together with personnel from Australia and Japan, will include community health outreach, engineering projects and discussions on disaster relief.<\/p>\n

Separately, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said it was regrettable that “we’ve seen the Chinese try to bully and coerce nations throughout the Indo-Pacific to do their bidding and to serve what they believe their selfish national security interests are, rather than the broader interests of a free and open Indo-Pacific”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
