Prime Minister Chris Luxon has apologised to Samoa's Government, over the sinking of HMNZS Manawanui this month.

Chris Luxon and Political Editor Jason Walls is at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa.

Luxon says his meeting with the king went well and that he was “very knowledgeable” about several issues.

Walls says that the king expressed his love for New Zealand by the amount of knowledge he had for it and that the Prime Minister said that he was “quite charming”.

Walls said that Luxon was very clear yesterday that it has not been as bad as he imagined it was or any of the initial estimates in terms of environmental change. As there is verylimitedenvironmental damage, Walls says that people don't seem too overwhelmingly upset.

Walls said that Luxon said that he's “chalking that up to a big, a good win and of course the fact that nobody died”.
