The Government, he said, is currently focused on improving the livelihood and economic situation in the country.

The Acting Minister lauded the numerous assistance and support the USA has offered to Sierra Leone, particularly in enhancing not only the diplomatic relations, but also in the promotion of democracy, good governance, human rights, agriculture and food security through USAID.

The Ambassador designate of the United States of America, Mrs.  Maria Brewer thanked the Acting Minister and staff for the warm reception accorded her and entourage.

The US Ambassador designate said, ‘I look forward to frequent, cordial and frank discussions with the government of Sierra Leone, so that together they can achieve their shared goals and uphold their common values’. 

‘Please be assured that we share deeply the same interest in having Sierra Leone be an ever more peaceful, secure, democratic and prosperous member of the community of nations’, Ambassador Maria Brewer assured.

Present at the ceremony were the Minister of State II, Foreign Affairs, Hon. Isata Kabia; the Acting Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation; the Deputy Director General for Policy; Directors of various Divisions and Heads of Sections of the Ministry.
