Honiara, Solomon Islands โ€“ Professor Transform Aqorau, Vice Chancellor of Solomon Islands National University (SINU), has extended formal invitations to the nominees for the Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands to participate in a public symposium. This event is scheduled for Wednesday, May 1st, 2024, at the Kukum Lecture Theatre on the SINU campus.

Professor Aqorau emphasized the universityโ€™s commitment to fostering public engagement, stating, โ€œAs the premier academic institution in the Solomon Islands, SINU is deeply committed to fostering public dialogue and providing a neutral, objective space for the exchange of ideas that stimulate public policy discourse.โ€

The symposium is designed to offer a platform where political leaders can articulate their vision and policy platforms to the public, aligning with SINUโ€™s mission to facilitate informed discourse. โ€œThis symposium serves as a crucial forum where potential leaders can engage directly with the electorate, enhancing the democratic process by fostering a more informed electorate,โ€ Professor Aqorau explained.

The Vice Chancellor also highlighted the role of SINU in the broader context of national development: โ€œSINU stands as a beacon of knowledge and dialogue in our country. By hosting this symposium, we are not only supporting the democratic process but also emphasising the universityโ€™s role in shaping a future where informed discourse leads to effective governance.โ€

While awaiting confirmations from the invitees, the university remains hopeful for their participation. Professor Aqorau added, โ€œWe are hopeful that the nominees will recognise the importance of this platform, not only for their political campaigns but as a crucial step towards transparent and accountable leadership.โ€

The symposium will also be available via Facebook Live, ensuring that a broader audience can engage with the discussions, even if they cannot attend in person.

โ€œThis event represents a significant opportunity to demonstrate leadership and commitment to public discourse at a crucial time in our nationโ€™s history. Engaging in this symposium will not only amplify the voices of the leaders but also reinforce the role of SINU as a hub for critical discussion and policy analysis,โ€ said Professor Aqorau.
