Germany and the Solomon Islands: Bilateral relations

20.03.2026 - Article

Political relations between Germany and the Solomon Islands Islands are friendly. Diplomatic contacts are maintained by the German Embassy in Canberra, Australia. A German Honorary Consul is located in the capital Honiara. Katja Keul, Minister of State at the Federal Foreign Office, visited the Solomon Islands in July 2024.

Germany supports economic, social and cultural development in the Solomon Islands through its contributions to the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) of the European Union.

The country also plays a role in Germany’s close climate policy cooperation with the states of the South Pacific region, particularly within the framework of regional programmes run by the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the International Climate Initiative (ICI) of the Federal Government.

Since 2011, the German Archaeological Institute, in cooperation with the Solomon Islands National Museum and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, has been conducting excavations to investigate the early settlement of the Solomon Islands. They are intended to shed light on how prehistoric humans populated the Pacific region, which has received little research attention to date. The results are exhibited at the National Museum.

The Solomon Islands is a member of the Group of Friends on Climate and Security in the United Nations, founded by Germany and Nauru.
