Pago Pago, AMERICAN SAMOA — The Samoan and American Samoan governments are considering re-staring the "2-Samoa" talks in 2022.

American Samoa's Lieutenant Governor, Talauega Eleasalo Ale, made the brief announcement during the Governor's cabinet meeting.

Talauega said that there are plans to hold the "2-Samoa talks this year to reconnect with our family in Samoa".

KVZK-TV reports that the last inter-Samoa talks were held in 2017, in Apia.

Launched about 10 years ago, the summit focuses on issues on which the two Samoas can collaborate for mutual benefit.
