Commonwealth leaders concluded a week-long summit in Samoa with discussions on whether Britain should consider reparations for its involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. The summit, attended by representatives from 56 countries with historical ties to the British empire, focused on issues of slavery and climate change.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized that the discussions were not centered around financial compensation but rather aimed at fostering a meaningful and respectful dialogue towards building a future based on equity.
