Welcome to Embassy of the Republic of Liberia in the United States

In his keynote address at the 34th Africa Peace Awards, Joseph Nyuma Boakai reflects on Liberia’s painful history of civil war and its journey toward peace, emphasizing that true peace is built on justice, inclusion, and opportunity rather than simply the absence of conflict. He highlights Liberia’s progress in reconciliation, democratic governance, and global engagement, including its role on the United Nations Security Council, while warning that ongoing global challenges such as inequality and youth marginalization threaten stability. Central to his message is the urgent need to invest in Africa’s youth through education, leadership development, and technology, positioning them as key drivers of peace and development, and calling on both Africans and the diaspora to work together in building a more just, united, and peaceful future.
