Washington, D.C. - July 7, 2025-President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has been invited by U.S. President Donald J. Trump for a significant two-day working visit to the United States. This invitation highlights the strengthening diplomatic ties between Liberia and the United States and sets the stage for important multilateral discussions.
President Boakai's visit is scheduled to take place from July 9 to 11. It will include strengthening the bilateral relations between the two nations. The visit is also part of a broader Africa diplomatic initiative of President Trump for which he has also invited Presidents Bassirou Diomaye Faye of Senegal, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema of Gabon, Mohamed Ould Ghazouani of Mauritania, and Umaro Sissoco Embaló of Guinea-Bissau. This multilateral gathering aims to foster collaboration in addressing regional security challenges and strengthening economic partnerships.
Accompanying President Boakai on this important visit is a high-level delegation that includes Foreign Minister Sara Beysolow-Nyanti, Finance, Planning, and Development Minister Augustine K. Ngafuan, Security Advisor Samuel Kofi Woods, Director General of Cabinet Nathaniel Kwabo, and National Investment Commission Chairman Jeff Blibo, among others.
These discussions present an opportunity for Liberia to position itself as a key player in regional stability and economic development.
This visit follows Liberia’s recent election as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the 2026-2027 term. This prestigious role enhances Liberia’s profile in promoting global peace, security, and a rules-based international order.
As Liberia seeks to strengthen ties with the U.S., this visit is poised to be a pivotal moment in defining Liberia’s role on the international stage. The outcomes of these discussions are anticipated to shape the future of U.S.-Liberia relations and have a lasting impact on the political and economic landscape of the region.
