President Sirleaf recalled the long and historic relations between the two countries which, she said, have been mutually rewarding, within the context of the partnership.

The Liberian leader noted that the Government of Egypt continues to lend support to the human resource gap and many areas: particularly, in the Post-Ebola Economic Stabilization Plan.

She stated further that Liberia continues to recognize Egypt’s role in shaping human history and being the harbinger of modern civilization.

President Sirleaf prayed that the Almighty Allah will continue to shower his bountiful blessings and prosperity on the Government and people of Egypt as they celebrate this milestone.
