Liberia eyes cooperating with Egypt on infrastructure projects

CAIRO – 8 December 2024: Ambassador to Monrovia Ahmed Abdel Azim met with Liberian State Minister Sylvester M. Grigsby who expressed interest in cooperating with Egypt on infrastructure projects in alignment with the government's plans to rehabilitate roads, expand urbanization and develop slums.

The minister expressed appreciation for Egypt's assistance on human capacity-building in Liberia, as the two parties discussed bolstering bilateral relations and conferred over African affairs of mutual interest.

Ambassador Abdel Azim met in September with the chief of Liberian Presidential Guards and members of the corps who had received advanced training on VIP protection delivered by the Egyptian Agency of Partnership for Development (EAPD).

The Liberian side commended the impact of the training on the performance of officers and guards, requesting more assistance on that front. On his side, Ambassador Abdel Azim affirmed Egypt's commitment to contributing to human capacity-building in Liberia, particularly among elements of the Presidential Guards with the aim of preserving the security and stability of the Liberian people and protecting its properties.
