From his opening speech it would appear he is genuine. Mentions anti-corruption and the Australian Cable. I was hoping a quick mention of mining however this below sounds positive.

"To our developing partners, I want to assure you that my administration is ready to re-engage and work together in advancing the interests of Solomon Islands. For too long, we have left our development partners in the cold which has negatively affected the progress of important Government programs. But today, I assure you that my Government will take extra efforts in working closely with each and every one of our partners as we work towards our common goal to move this country forward. On that note, I would also like to thank our developing partners for their continuous support. I also wish to acknowledge the efforts undertaken by the former finance minister in renewing dialogue between the Government and our donor partners."
