A visit to Chengdu Research Base offered an unexpected lesson in diplomacy. Our visit to Chengu took place at a time when 2 giant pandas arrived at Zoo Atlanta in the United States. The 2 pandas were born in this Research Base. #CIPCC2026 #Chengdu #giantpandas #diplomacy – at North Korea

Last Saturday, we facilitated our first social media training session for participants from the Savo Russell Constituency Office, our first engagement outside the media sector. Great to share practical digital communication skills and explore how social media can better support community engagement at the grassroots level. Thank you to the Savo Russell Constituency Office for the opportunity. #SocialMediaTraining #DigitalSkills #SolomonIslands

Now taking things slow (for now)

PRC 🇨🇳 Ambassador, Cai Weiming congratulates Solomon Islands 🇸🇧 new Prime Minister, Matthew Wale.

If we wait for everything to be perfect before we say 'thank you,' we will be waiting forever. Progress is happening. One culvert, one bridge, one wharf, one clinic at a time. When we trash our leaders and our country online, we aren't just 'venting'; we are discouraging the very people who are out there in the sun and rain trying to build a better Solomon Islands for us.
