I extend my sincere appreciation to METI-KANSAI and Yao City for their invaluable collaboration and support in co-hosting our Business and Investment Forum on August 27, which brought together over 250 Japanese business owners. Your partnership not only made this initiative impactful and memorable but also fostered new pathways for economic growth and mutually beneficial cooperation.
We also express profound gratitude to H.E. Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., President of the Republic of Liberia, for his unwavering support, and to Hon. Sara Beysolow Nyanti, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Liberia, for her dedicated leadership and guidance in advancing Liberia’s diplomatic engagements.
Special thanks are also extended to the Liberian Ambassador to Japan, H.E. Edward Wade Appleton, Jr., Hon. Momo Cyrus, Senator of Lofa County, Hon. Jerolinmek Mathew Piah, Minister of Information, Culture Affairs & Tourism, Hon. Sam Steveqouh, Minister of State without Portfolio, and the envoys to the President of Liberia on Tourism and Investment, as well as to MICAT, NIC, the Ministry of Commerce, NOCAL, LIBA, UNILAND Group of Companies, ECOWAS, and HAPAWARDS for their collaborative spirit, presentations, and commitment, which greatly contributed to the success of this historic initiative.
Together, these combined efforts have strengthened the bond of friendship and diplomacy between Liberia and Japan, paving the way for sustained collaboration, increased investment, and shared prosperity in the years ahead.
We look forward to deepening this partnership during our upcoming follow-up Business and Investment Meeting.
