# Any news about Bougainville-Solomon border? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea
xut 22:36 UTC 05 Oct 2019 | I asked the same a few months ago, and back then there were no prospects of legal crossings between Buin in Bougainville and Solomon. A few weeks ago though, Prime Minister Marape visited Bougainville, and there were some news regarding the opening of border posts in South Bougainville, in order to cross legally to the Solomon Islands: PM to open border posts Does anyone have more news about? It is formally open to everyone or just local communities? Thank you |

xut 21:28 UTC 20 Oct 2019 | Therefore, would this mean the news is not true? Is there any way to know whether the two posts are open? | 2
