Solomon Islands–United States relations are bilateral relations between Solomon Islands and the United States. Initial relations were forged during World War II with what was then the British Solomon Islands Protectorate during the Japanese occupation,and this relationship remained strong as Solomon Islands gained its independence in 1978. Relations continued until 1993 when post-Cold War budget cuts closed the United States Embassy in Honiara. Beginning in 2022,in an attempt to counter growing Chinese influence in Solomon Islands,the United States has demonstrated increased commitment to the restoration of relations with the country. In February 2023,the United States re-opened its embassy in Honiara.
Cuban-Pacific relations are diplomatic,economic,cultural,and other relations between the Cuba and countries situated in Oceania. In the 2000s,Cuba has been strengthening its relations with Pacific nations,which have,for the most part,responded favorably to Cuban medical aid in particular. The first Cuba-Pacific Islands ministerial meeting was held in September 2008 in Havana,with government members from ten Pacific countries—Kiribati,Tuvalu,Nauru,Solomon Islands,Fiji,Tonga,Vanuatu,Samoa,the Federated States of Micronesia and Papua New Guinea—attending. The meeting was a consolidation rather than a starting point of Cuban-Pacific relations.
