The President of the Republic of Liberia, Mr. George Manneh Weah, has sent a Message of Congratulations to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her Other Realms, Territories, Head of the Commonwealth and Defender of the Faith, on the occasion commemorating her 92nd Birthday Anniversary, April 21, 2018.
According to a Foreign Ministry release, in President Weah’s Message to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, he extended to the Government and People of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Barbados, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Commonwealth nations, hearty congratulations on behalf of the Government and People of the Republic of Liberia and in his own name.
“As the people of Britain commemorate this auspicious milestone, the world can never forget the pivotal role you played at the age of 12. You were able to distinguish yourself as a talented horsewoman, and at the breaking of World War II, when you were in your early 14, you made a landmark first radio broadcast, reassuring the safety of orphaned children.”
President Weah further told Her Majesty that after over five decades of leadership, she has successfully contributed in shaping human history and the quality of global leadership to world peace and development.
According to the Liberian Leader, this contribution established her kingdom as a global pacesetter and reliable development partner to Liberia and the region as a whole.
“As indicated in my inaugural address, I look forward to harnessing the cordial historic ties of friendship between Liberia and the United Kingdom, to ensuring deeper partnership between our two countries. The people of Liberia continue to recognize the central role of the United Kingdom in leading the pool fund which supported major programs in the Liberian health sector which facilitated recovery of the sector following Liberia’s prolonged civil crisis,” the President stated to Her Majesty.
As the Liberian Leader wishes for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II good health, he assured her that Liberians will continue marshal their collective efforts to contribute to global peace, stability and development worldwide.
