"They lecture you about how good they are", he said, according to a video of the press conference published by Solomon Islands media company Tavuli News on Wednesday evening. Sogavare said he returned because there were 10 weeks left of parliament at home in Solomon Islands, which was more important. At the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Sogavare had praised China's development cooperation as "less restrictive".
