About our Samoa News

Latest news for Samoa, officially known as the Independent State of Samoa, including breaking updates for the Polynesian Island.

Samoa is situated in the western part of the Samoan Islands, sharing maritime borders with American Samoa, a U.S. territory. Samoa operates as a parliamentary democracy, with a prime minister as the head of government. The country is divided into eleven administrative districts, with Apia as its capital and largest city. The island is home to unique cultural traditions, with the Fa'a Samoa (Samoan Way) playing a central role in the lives of its people. The country's economy relies on agriculture, which employs two-thirds of the labour force and furnishes 90% of exports, fishing, and remittances from Samoans living abroad, alongside growing tourism and light manufacturing sectors.
