Anthony Albanese has hailed the first Commonwealth leaders summit held in Australia's backyard a success as the issue of reparations emerges with the ascension of a new secretary-general.
The prime minister was among the leaders of 56 Commonwealth nations in Samoa for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), overseen by King Charles.
"This has been a very successful Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting hosted by Samoa, and it is the first time that CHOGM has met here in the Pacific," Mr Albanese said.
