MOD/SDF implemented the capacity building project for the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF). In this project, Instructors of JGSDF Ordnance School shared their knowledge with the RSIPF Explosive Ordnance Disposal Department (EODD) about the UXO and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) disposal in Solomon Islands. Furthermore, they conducted the awareness-raising activity on the dangers of the UXO and ERW for the Ministry of Culture and Tourism personnel.

Through this project, we contributed to the improvement of the RSIPF EODD UXO disposal capability and the safe and secure performance of their duties. The ultimate aim being to limit the number of accidents caused by UXO and ERW among the people of Solomon Islands.

MOD/SDF will continue to promote defense cooperation with Solomon Islands and collaborate on regional peace and stability.
