Permanent Mission of Samoa to the UN and other international organisations

The Permanent Mission of the Independent State of Samoa to the United Nations and other International Organisations in Geneva was established in 2022. The Mission serves as the Government of Samoa’s official representative and point of contact for the United Nations Office in Geneva and all other international organisations headquartered in Geneva.

The Mission also serves as the Permanent Delegation of Samoa to the UNESCO in Paris; and the Permanent Mission to FAO, IFAD, and WFP in Rome.

The Embassy of Samoa in Geneva is responsible for the diplomatic relations with the Swiss Government. It also provides consular services and support for Samoan nationals in Switzerland.

This is the first diplomatic mission of Samoa in Switzerland since the establishment of friendly relations and diplomatic ties in 1981. Switzerland has supported Samoa’s development aspirations through the provision of development assistance under the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation (SDC), the UN, and other multilateral organisations in areas of agriculture, governance, environment and climate resilience, and disaster relief.
