British High Commissioner Paul Turner hosted Solomon Islands athletes and officials for afternoon tea in Honiara on 26 August 2026, recognising their participation at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, which ran from 23 July to 2 August, according to a UK government report published on 2 September 2026.

The delegation comprised 13 men and women competing in athletics, boxing, judo, swimming and weightlifting/para powerlifting. Maximilian Makana was flag bearer and para powerlifter Moffet Tolomae carried the Commonwealth Sport Baton. The team won no medals but set personal bests in swimming and middle- and long-distance running, the report said.

Turner paid tribute to veteran weightlifter Jenly Tegu Wini, competing at a fifth consecutive Commonwealth Games, and to Tolomae's participation as a milestone for para-sport in Solomon Islands. Team Manager Simon Chottu said the team would be looking for new success at the Pacific Games in Tahiti in July 2027.
