President Sirleaf further told the Danish Queen that as both nations strive to fully implement the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, Liberia looks forward to deepen collaboration in many spheres, including human rights, peace and security, and other aspects of development.

“It is my ardent wish that together we will explore new areas of cooperation, mainly in the private sector,” she added.
