Join me today in supporting #worldleaders to adopt a #PandemicAccord based on equity, solidarity and protecting future generations everywhere from a repeat of #COVID19.

HIS EXCELLENCY @PresidentBio’s 2ND STATE VISIT TO THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF #CHINA DAY 2 DAIRY: PRESIDENT BIO DELIVERS KEYNOTE ADDRESS AT THE SIERRA LEONE INVESTMENT FORUM

[Julius Maada Bio @julius_maadabio]

This afternoon, I met with my host and President of the People's Republic of China, His Excellency Xi Jinping, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

During our meeting, we discussed various issues, including our shared plans for deepening the bilateral relations between our two nations, Sierra Leone’s tenure at the @UN #SecurityCouncil, and efforts at promoting global #peace, among other issues.

I commended President Jinping for his transformative leadership that has repositioned #China globally and thanked him for his invaluable partnership and support towards #SierraLeone's socio-economic development.

Over the years, our bilateral relations have flourished, encompassing various areas, including trade, infrastructure development, education, mining and healthcare, and we look forward to leveraging strategic opportunities for the benefit of our two countries.

The MoU signed between our Governments will further solidify our cooperation and mutually beneficial partnerships, including my Government’s flagship FEED SALONE agriculture initiative to enhance the well-being of our citizens.

ARMED FORCES DAY 2024 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE REPUBLIC OF SIERRA LEONE ARMED FORCES

My Fellow Sierra Leoneans,

As we honour the bravery, sacrifice and resilience of our Armed Forces, we are reminded of the profound debt of gratitude we owe to those who have served and continue to serve our beloved nation with unwavering dedication.

On this solemn occasion of Armed Forces Day, we pay tribute to the fearless heroes who have laid down their lives in defence of our sovereignty and the principles of freedom, justice and democracy.

Their selfless commitment to duty, often in the face of great peril, serves as a beacon of inspiration for us all.

On this day of commemoration, we thank God for their gallantry and lives.

HAPPY ARMED FORCES DAY!

Congratulations Your Excellency @PresidentBio on your re-election as the President of Sierra Leone. Wishing you the best as you lead your country to great heights through the next 5 years.

[Kingsley Okeke @nwoketwit]

Congratulations #SierraLeone and @PresidentBio on this historic feat! Impressive to see an overwhelming vote of 188 from member states.

[Julius Maada Bio @julius_maadabio]

BREAKING NEWS: It is with profound honour and a deep sense of fulfilment to convey the news that #SierraLeone, for the first time in 52 years and for only the second time in our nation’s history, has been elected as a Non-Permanent Member of the United Nations Security Council for the term 2024-2025.

Our candidacy was anchored on the theme of “Partnership, Multilateralism and Representative Approach to Sustained Global Peace and Security” and Sierra Leone was elected by an overwhelming majority of the United Nations General Assembly, running as an endorsed candidate of the @_AfricanUnion.

Our return to the @UN Security Council is a generational accomplishment and a testament to my SLPP Government’s transformation of Sierra Leone’s international reputation and standing and our immense foreign policy gains over the past 5 years.

Our presence on the #UNSC represents our unique success as a democratic and peaceful country of resilience and unbounded optimism. One that successfully transitioned from war to peace while working in partnership with the United Nations. A country no longer defined by the stigma of the past. A beacon of hope and fortitude. A place of great belief that the future will be better, more just and more peaceful because of the investments we are making today in an inclusive and sustainable future.

As Sierra Leone accedes to this primary global decision-making organ on peace and security matters at the United Nations, let me, on behalf of every Sierra Leonean, express our profound gratitude to our #African brothers and sisters and their Governments for their unwavering and unconditional demonstration of solidarity. Sierra Leone’s success is #Africa’s success.

I also thank the member States of the @UN for their overwhelming support and trust in the people and Government of Sierra Leone under my leadership.  

On this momentous day, I call on every Sierra Leonean to hold their head high, celebrate, and be proud of Sierra Leone’s historic achievement at the heart of the international system.
