Samoa and the European Union celebrated “one world, shared values” at a Europe Day celebration last Thursday.
The cocktail reception was hosted by E.U. Head of Office in Samoa, John Stanley, in Sogi, and was attended by Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sa’ilele Malielegaoi, Ambassadors, and other members of the diplomatic community.

The E.U. says the theme was chosen because both the Union and Samoa share basic values such as peace, human rights, personal freedom, democratic rights, governance, the rule of law and a decent standard of living for all.
The E.U. has been providing 
assistance to Samoa since the 1970s, with most of its support directed at the water and sanitation sector and civil society.
Here are some 
photos from the event on Thursday night.
