Manasseh Sogavare gave the message to Taiwan's ambassador, Oliver Liao, this week in Honiara.
Mr Sogavare said a decision will be made in the best interests of the Solomon Islands and its citizens.
The men discussed the issue after Mr Liao had presented $US2.95 million in aid to the prime minister.
Taiwan's annual contribution to constituency development funds is $US2,452,000, and MPs have been accused of misusing it.
Five hundred thousand is support for this year's National Population and Housing Census.
