“The Solomon Islands government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Taiwanese company, Fu Tsu construction company, for the development of the National Stadium.

“This is in preparation for the 2023 Pacific Games which will be hosted by the Solomon Islands.

“The MoU was signed by the Chairman of the National Hosting Authority (NHA), Dr Jimmy Rodgers, who is also the Secretary to the Prime Minister, and Chairman of Fu Tsu Construction company, Cliff Lin.

“The agreement builds on a similar MoU signed in March, which confirmed funding from Taiwan and Fu Tsu’s involvement of designing and constructing the National Stadium.
Under the terms of the first agreement, it was confirmed Fu Tsu would be responsible for the design of an International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) standard venue.
