THE Our Telekom 2022 Miss Solomon Islands Pageant contestants paid a courtesy visit to Prime Minister, Manasseh Sogavare.
The visit on Tuesday this week was purposely to allow the contestants meet and introduce themselves to the Prime Minister and briefly shared why they chose to contest in this year’s Miss Solomon Islands Pageant.
