The statement was made shortly after the two sides agreed to launch a high-level strategic dialogue.
"At this critical juncture, the United States and Solomon Islands agreed to launch a high-level strategic dialogue, co-chaired on the US side by the White House and the Department of State,” the White House said.
Both sides have agreed to focus on security issues of mutual concern, economic and social development, public health as well as finance and debt, according to the release.
