On Monday, we bid farewell to His Excellency Gareth Hoar, the British High Commissioner, and his family as he concludes his three-year term serving Samoa.

Throughout his time in Samoa, Gareth has been a valued partner and friend, strengthening ties between Samoa and the United Kingdom and supporting key initiatives that have benefited many communities. His leadership, dedication, and genuine respect for Samoan culture have made a lasting impression.

He will be fondly remembered not only for his work, but for the friendships he has built and the warmth he has shown to those around him.

As he departs, we extend our sincere appreciation for his service and wish him all the very best in his next chapter. Samoa will always welcome you back.

Safe travels, Mr. Gareth Hoar, and faโ€™afetai tele lava.๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿ‡ผ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒฟ The UK was honoured to join Samoa in celebrating both the launch of Samoaโ€™s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and National Environment Week โ€” a powerful reminder of the importance of collective action on climate resilience.

Speaking at the launch, British High Commissioner Gareth Hoar congratulated Samoa on its continued leadership in addressing climate change and strengthening its future:

โ€œClimate adaptation is not simply an environmental priority. It is fundamental to safeguarding communities, sustaining livelihoods, and ensuring long-term national resilience and prosperity.โ€

The UK is proud to support Samoa through climate finance and resilience-building programmes, working in partnership to help protect communities, natural resources, and future generations.

As Samoa marks National Environment Week, this milestone highlights the countryโ€™s commitment to a sustainable and climate-resilient future. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’š

His Excellency High Commissioner Gareth Hoar delivered remarks recognising the vital role of journalists in strengthening open, transparent societies and highlighting the contributions of media professionals across Samoa

โ€œA free, independent, and responsible media is fundamental to any democratic society โ€” it informs communities, strengthens accountability, and creates space for open public dialogue.โ€ โ€” High Commissioner Gareth Hoar

As the High Commissioner marks his final week in Samoa, BBC Media Action and JAWS presented a special gift in appreciation of his continued support for Samoaโ€™s journalism community and media development initiatives.
