President Bio highlighted the achievements of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) government during his tenure. He noted that these accomplishments set a foundation for enhanced cooperation with international partners.
“Receiving these credentials marks an important step in our diplomatic engagements,” President Bio stated. “We look forward to working closely with these nations to foster mutual development.”
Among other official duties this week, President Bio presided over the swearing-in ceremony of Edmond Nonie as Deputy Minister of Energy II. This event took place at the State House in Freetown.
