Festive Season Greetings
The Honourable Harry Kuma, Minister for Commerce, Industry, Labour and Immigration, along with his Permanent Secretary, Mr Riley Henao Mesepitu, dedicated staff members, and their families, extend their warmest wishes for a Peaceful Christmas and a Prosperous New Year 2026. These heartfelt greetings are directed to the Governor General, Prime Minister, esteemed Cabinet Members, Members of Parliament, representatives from Provincial Governments, Constitutional Postholders, Development Partners and Agencies, Village Chiefs and Elders, Churches, Schools, Service Providers, Business Houses, Fishermen, Farmers, and all the people of our cherished Solomon Islands.
As we reflect on the past year, we express deep gratitude for the grace of our God Almighty and the guidance He has provided throughout 2025. We humbly seek His continued fellowship as we celebrate this festive season together.
During this time, we acknowledge that despite our diverse ethnic backgrounds and geographic separations across the islands, we are united as one people in our beloved nation, the Solomon Islands. This unity is a testament to our shared values and aspirations for a brighter future.
Let us take this opportunity to rejoice and celebrate alongside the Angelic Host, embracing love and respect for one another as we place our trust in the miraculous gift of the New Born Baby Jesus. We recognise the abundance of gifts He has bestowed upon us, including the diverse talents, skills, and opportunities that empower us to bless others. We hope that we can inspire those around us to, in turn, discover a deeper connection with our New Born Baby Jesus and our Creator.
The Ministry of Commerce, Industry, Labour and Immigration is deeply committed to realising its vision through the delivery of high-quality public services under its mandate. We focus on fostering increased investment, stimulating private-sector growth, enhancing border security, improving labour and employment practices, protecting consumer rights, promoting fair trade and competition, and safeguarding indigenous-reserved business opportunities. Each of these efforts is aimed at ensuring sustainable economic development and lasting prosperity for all citizens of the Solomon Islands.
As we step into the New Year 2026, may it herald a season of economic empowerment and business prosperity, leading to greater advancements for the people of the Solomon Islands. Let us work together towards a thriving future, marked by collaboration, innovation, and unwavering commitment to our shared goals.
