Honiara, 29 September 2026: The Solomon Islands Special Economic Zone Authority (SISEZA) officially convened its inaugural Board meeting on Friday, 18 September 2026, at the Heritage Park Hotel in Honiara.

This landmark event marks a vital milestone in establishing and operationalising the Authority.

The meeting brought together newly appointed Board members to assume governance responsibilities and establish strategic priorities for the development and management of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) across the country.
