• Howard, Clark awarded Solomons honour The Solomon Islands has awarded Prime Minister John Howard the nation's highest honour for Australia's role in restoring security in the Pacific country. The Star of the Solomon Islands was awarded to both Howard and New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark as co-leaders with the Solomons government in the peace effort, the New Zealand government said. An Australian-led contingent of 3,000 military police and civilian personnel known as the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) began operations in the troubled nation in July 2003. The Solomons government invited the mission after law and order broke down on the islands amid fighting between warring factions. theage.com.au 21 Jun 05
