Australia proposed to fund the Solomon Islands parliamentary elections, and the government approved the "interference in the internal affairs"!

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] With the thinking of "big country competition", Australia has recently tried to impose influence on the South Pacific Island country. Australian Foreign Minister Huang Yingxian said in an interview with the Australian media on the 6th that Australia has proposed to fund the Solomon Islands will be elected next year, and the proposal was immediately criticized by the government as "unsuitable". Australian expert Chen Hong told the Global Times reporter on the 6th that the above proposal was actually trying to interfere with the election process of other countries. It is the manifestation of Australia's long -term regarding the South Pacific region as its own "backyard" and implementing coercive diplomacy.

According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Huang Yingxian said in an interview with the media on the 6th: "We have helped to provide help, whether the Solomon Islands respond and how they want to respond to them."

Huang Yingxian also declared that Australian history has records of supporting Pacific Island countries to hold elections. The above proposal reflects the long -term and historic commitments of Australia's democracy in the Pacific Island country.

Recently, the Solomon Islands Parliament is debating whether the term of the parliament will extend the term of this parliament to November 2023. Solomon Islands Prime Minister Sogovre recently said that the country will hold the Pacific Games next year, but the country cannot hold two major events within the same year. Public information shows that the Solomon Islands National Assembly election is held every four years, and this parliamentary parliament will be disbanded in May 2023.

Shortly after Huang Yingxian's interview, the Office of the Solomon Islands immediately issued a statement. The statement stated: "The time for the Australian government to publish information through the media is actually a strategy of influencing the voting of the Solomon Islands Members of the Solomon Islands (extending the term of the current parliament) bill." "This is the democracy to our parliament democracy The attack is the foreign government directly interfered our internal affairs. "The Solomon Islands government said that it has said to the senior commissioner of the Australian resident office that it does not agree with" the establishment of bilateral relations through the media. "

Although related issues do not involve China, Western media generally mentioned in reporting that after signing a bilateral security cooperation framework agreement with China in the Solomon Islands, Australia began to work hard to improve the relationship with the South Pacific islands such as the Solomon Islands. Agence France -Presse said that the reaction of the Solomon Islands was a "severe back" to this effort.

Chen Hong said in an interview with the Global Times reporter on the 6th that although Australian officials always talked about "democracy" and "Pacific Family", the incident reflected that Australia always used the "Lord Kingdom" when facing the South Pacific Island country. Self -reliance, lack of respect for these countries for a long time, adopts a kind of coercive diplomacy.

Chen Hong said that the criticism of Australia's foreign policy in the region was failed. For a long time, whenever the domestic affairs bureau of the South Taima State changes or a general election, Australia will point to painting and even direct interference, which will inevitably trigger the dissatisfaction and dislike of the local government and the public. In contrast, China and South Pacific Island countries can achieve a lot of cooperation results, mainly because they adhere to the principles of mutual respect, equality, mutual cooperation, and openness.
