Solomon Islands elect new Prime Minister

The Solomon Islands have a new Prime Minister. Former Foreign Minister Jeremiah Manele defeated Opposition Leader Matthew Wale in a vote of 31 to 18. 

As foreign minister,  Manele was one of the key players behind the country's "look north" foreign policy, and its controversial security pact with China. Now, Manele says he wants to pursue a foreign policy of "friends to all, enemies to none" where China and Australia are treated equally.
