Mr Hou thanked Norway for its significant contribution to the Green Climate Fund, to which it is providing more than US$270 million over four years.
Part of this fund had already gone to the Tina Hydro Project and Mr Astrup said Norway was keen to also assist the Solomons in the areas of renewable energy, fisheries, and climate change.
He said he would also like to share Norway's experience with marine resources, overfishing and plastic pollution in the oceans.
