Speaking at the opening of the office yesterday, Sen Fierravanti-Wells said the building is a symbol of the close partnership between the governments and peoples of Samoa and Australia.
“Of course, we are more than partners, we are friends,” she said.
“This opening is a celebration amongst friends – celebrating all that we have achieved together.”
She added that it is fitting that the complex has been completed in 2017 as September this year marks the 40th anniversary since the Australian High Commission first opened its doors in Samoa.
