The United States of America opened an embassy in Honiara, Solomon Islands from July 7 1978 following recognition of the independent Solomon Islands by the United States, but this closed in 1993, reopening on 2 February 2023.[1] During the ten year closure, U.S. interests in Solomon Islands were handled by the United States Embassy in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, the United States Ambassador to Papua New Guinea being also accredited to Solomon Islands.[2][3]
