It's being reported that Samoa's caretaker prime minister and prime-minister-elect met today as part of secret negotiations about the transition to a new government.
The Samoa Observer quotes the leader of the Fast party, Fiame Naomi Mataafa, as saying 'This is only the beginning', after meeting with Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi.
But neither leader would be drawn on the substantive details of the afternoon's discussions.
