Welcoming the delegation, Speaker Koon expressed appreciation for Moroccoโs interest in fostering economic and developmental cooperation with Liberia.
โWe welcome this engagement and the investment opportunities it presents. Whatever agreements or investment frameworks emerge from this initiative, when brought to the Legislature, we will work diligently to ensure their passage in support of Liberiaโs economic growth and bilateral cooperation,โ Speaker Koon stated.
He further emphasized that the strong bilateral relations between Liberia and Morocco must continue to flourish to promote mutual growth and partnership across key sectors.
The meeting was attended by several lawmakers, along with Liberiaโs Ambassador to the Kingdom of Morocco, H.E. Joseph F. Johnson, and Consul General Johnny Fallah. While in Liberia, the Moroccan delegation is expected to hold meetings with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and other senior officials of the Liberian Government to further discuss avenues for cooperation in trade, investment, and development.
