Samoa–Tonga relations
The Samoa–Tonga relations refer to the bilateral relations between the Independent State of Sāmoa and the Kingdom of Tonga. The Lapita people first arrived in the islands of Sāmoa and Tonga, developing a unique sense of cultural identity. However, during the reign of the Tu'i Tonga Empire, most of the islands of Sāmoa (excluding American Sāmoa) was under the Tu'i Tongan Empire. However, after various of battles, the Sāmoan people finally gained independence from Tonga.[1] Present day relations between the two countries are good, with both of them belonging to the United Nations and the Pacific Islands Forum.[2]
