Samoa’s Minister of Justice and Courts Administration, Hon Matamua Seumanu Vasati Sili, acknowledged recent support from the People’s Republic of China
The Minister thanked the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China, his Excellency, Mr Fei Mingxing at a small ceremony at Mulinuu on Monday 26 May 2025.
“It is with deep gratitude, and a sincere sense of appreciation that I rise this morning on behalf of the Ministry of Justice, the Judiciary, and the Government of the Independent State of Samoa, to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Government and the People of the People’s Republic of China.”
“Your Excellency, we are gathered here today not only to acknowledge your presence, but to recognize the continued friendship and support that your country has extended to ours over the years—support which has again been tangibly demonstrated through your recent generous assistance.”
Hon Matamua Vasati said the generous support by China provided practical needs of the Ministry.
“We are especially grateful for the much-needed computers and photocopier printer that were recently donated..”
The Minister said these vital tools will enhance the daily operations and efficiency of the Ministry, and strengthen the overall delivery of justice in Samoa.
“Equally significant is the support your Government has provided through funding repairs to the ceiling of Supreme Court 1 – commonly known as the Chief Justice’s Courtroom.”
Courtroom 1 had been leaking and the repairs offered by China have been timely.
“This courtroom stands as a cornerstone of our judicial system and with your assistance, it will once again provide a dignified and functional space in which justice can be administered.”
“These contributions, though practical in nature, speak volumes about the commitment of the People’s Republic of China to support the rule of law, good governance, and the strengthening of institutions in Samoa,” said the Minister..
“They are reminders of the enduring partnership between our two nations—built on mutual respect, cooperation, and shared development goals.”
The Minister said China’s support helps to meet critical needs, in support of Samoa’s Judiciary and the Ministry of Justice.
“May the bond between our countries continue to grow from strength to strength, as we move forward together with a shared vision of prosperity, peace, and mutual understanding.”
