Embassy in Solomon Islands has forced the Pacific island nation’s newly appointed Rural Development Minister Daniel Waneoroa to quit Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), an international group that maintains strong links with Taiwan and pushes back against Beijing's growing global influence.
Waneoroa announced on May 11 that he had left IPAC, saying he made the decision "in the interest of fostering stability and aligning with a collective national vision" under Solomon Islands’ pro-Beijing Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele.
