Today I announce the appointment of Ms Emily Luck as Australia’s next High Commissioner to Samoa. Ms Luck will also be accredited to American Samoa.
This year marks the significant milestone of 50 years of formal diplomatic relations between Australia and Samoa. Australia and Samoa share a strong and enduring partnership underpinned by people-to-people links and spanning security, economic, social, sport and cultural spheres.
Our development partnership is helping with Samoa’s response to COVID-19, strengthening health systems, protecting vulnerable communities and supporting economic recovery. This partnership is estimated at $37.2 million (2020-2021).
Our security cooperation, including our defence and policing ties, is contributing to our regional security. We also work closely in disaster and climate resilience.
