Nauru congratulates first female PM for Samoa 

 

His Excellency President Lionel Aingimea congratulates the Independent State of Samoa on the election of its first female prime minister, Fiame Naomi Mata'afa.

 

"This is truly a historic moment for Samoa and our collective pacific region."

 

The prime ministership of Fiame Naomi Mata'afa was sealed in a landmark decision of Samoa's Court of Appeal on Friday 23 July, ending the 22-year reign of the former leader, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, who, at the time of the election was the world's second-longest serving prime minister.

 

In a signed letter to the Prime Minister's office, President Aingimea said the election of Samoa's first female PM "has faithfully upheld the principle of democracy, evoking the desire for change by the Samoan people.

 

"Your Excellency's steadfast position grounded in ethics validated the rule of law and perpetuated the resolve and will of the Samoan people.

 

"As Your Excellency assumes the highest position within the Government of the Independent State of Samoa, the pride of your family, especially your father, the late Fiame Mata'afa Faumuina Mulinu' u II and first Prime Minister of Samoa will be echoed throughout the country.


"Madam Prime Minister, I wish you every success in your new role and look forward to working closely with you not only to foster and strengthen the existing relationship between our two island nations but also for a better pacific."

 

PM Mata'afa took her oath at an unofficial ceremony outside Parliament House in Apia, Samoa on 24 May. The court ruling on 23 July, upholds that swearing-in.
