Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Timothy Musa Kabbah, led Sierra Leone’s delegation to the inaugural Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC)-Africa High-Level Forum, representing President Brigadier (Rtd.) Julius Maada Bio.
The forum, held at the Ágora Bogotá Convention Center, marked a key step in strengthening South-South cooperation between Africa and the Latin American and Caribbean region. Discussions focused on trade, investment, sustainable development, cultural exchange, and environmental stewardship.
Minister Kabbah was joined by Ambassador Amara Shiek Mohamed Sowa, Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to the United States; Franklyn Fawundu, Deputy Director-General of Operations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation; and Steven Levey, Counselor at the Embassy of Sierra Leone in Washington, DC. Their participation highlighted Sierra Leone’s commitment to deepening ties with CELAC member states.
A major outcome of the forum was the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the CAF Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean and the African Development Bank, signaling concrete institutional financial cooperation between the two regions.
