[history] => Structure
Diplomatic relations between the governments of the Solomon Islands and New Zealand were established on 7 July 1978 when the Solomon Islands gained independence,1 with the New Zealand High Commission in Honiara opening in that year.
As a diplomatic mission based in a Commonwealth country, the Honiara Post was termed a High Commission.
Functions and Responsibilities
The High Commission in Honiara carried out the New Zealand Governmentโs business and managed New Zealand's political, economic, trade, security and other relations with the Government of the Solomon Islands. As with all New Zealand diplomatic posts, the High Commission was responsible for carrying out the following general functions:
- To inform and advise Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Head Office in Wellington on events within the countries and organisations to which they were accredited, which were relevant to New Zealand's interests;
- To implement the New Zealand Government's policy, in the most effective manner possible for the country/organisation in question;
- To oversee the interaction of New Zealand's interests and advise on New Zealand's national advantage where these contended;
- To act as the formal channel for government-to-government contact;
- To represent the New Zealand Government, speak and negotiate on the Government's behalf when required, and take responsibility for the activities of all New Zealand Government Officials in the country in question;
- To provide consular services for visiting New Zealanders;
- To facilitate official visits by New Zealand Ministers of the Crown and officials;
- To provide services for other New Zealand Government departments when this was interdepartmentally agreed;
- To facilitate non-governmental, especially business, contact when this was both necessary and an effective means of achieving New Zealand's external relations objectives;
- To ensure that post activities were well planned and that resources were deployed efficiently and in accordance with the Government's priorities;
- To undertake public affairs activities where this was an effective means of influencing the host government or organisation in New Zealand's favour;
- To conduct New Zealand's relations in a manner which maintained and enhanced the mana (dignity, prestige) of the New Zealand people.2
Consular services included dealing with passports, nationality and citizenship applications, legal and notarial matters, accommodation and travel difficulties, accident, illness and arrest.
Overseas posts were tasked to develop constructive relationships at the government level, in business and more widely in the communities to which they were accredited. They also had a brief to promote New Zealand in general: to raise the country's profile, increase knowledge about New Zealand and foster a positive image of the country and its people.
Structure
The Head of Mission for the Honiara Post was the New Zealand High Commissioner to the Solomon Islands, who was assisted by the Consul and Second Secretary (Administration), Second Secretary (Foreign Policy), Second Secretary (RAMSI - Regional Aid Mission to Solomon Islands), NZAID (New Zealand Agency for International Development ) Development Counsellor, NZAID Managers, the Defence Advisor (resident in the New Zealand High Commission Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea), and the RAMSI Deputy Special Co-ordinator.
