Papua New Guinea’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Immigration and Border Security, Hon. John Rosso, has congratulated the Solomon Islands Immigration Division on the successful launch of its new Border Management System (BMS). The launch, supported by PNG ICSA and the Australian Government, marks a major milestone in strengthening Pacific border security and digital transformation.

The Solomon Islands Immigration Division, in collaboration with national and regional partners, has completed a two-day e-Passport Self-Assessment Workshop to review and strengthen the country’s passport system. Supported by PNG ICSA, the workshop identified key areas for reform to align with ICAO international security standards and guide upcoming legislative and system upgrades.
