In Auki, he also visited CAUSE project sites, where community-driven upgrades like footpaths, drainage, and public spaces are improving urban services. He met with Malaita Premier, Hon. Elijah Asilaua, to discuss future infrastructure collaborations.
Munda & Noro (March 17-18, 2025) β The visit continued with a tour of Munda Airport's upgraded facilities under SIRAP and discussions on SIRAP2βs ongoing road network improvements in Noro.
