Sierra Leone and Russia are delving into discussions to explore potential collaboration in the domain of peaceful nuclear energy, marking a significant stride forward in bilateral relations.
The talks, which include deliberations on the possibility of establishing a nuclear power plant in Sierra Leone, stem from a high-level meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Sierra Leone’s Foreign Minister, Timothy Musa Kabba.
During a press conference held in Moscow, Lavrov unveiled plans to re-establish Moscow’s embassy in Sierra Leone by the year’s end, highlighting Russia’s dedication to fortifying ties with African nations. Lavrov expressed, “We plan to open new diplomatic missions on the African continent, including in Freetown. In Freetown, we expect to do it this year, before the end of this year.”
With both parties demonstrating keen interest and commitment, Lavrov underscored the imminent realization of decisions made, paving the way for tangible progress across various sectors, particularly in nuclear energy. “We have agreed with Mr. Minister that he will formulate additional wishes for Russian investors in various sectors, including in the field of possible cooperation in nuclear energy and peaceful atom outside the energy sector,” Lavrov articulated.
Echoing Lavrov’s sentiments, Kabba emphasized the significance of reopening the Russian embassy, highlighting its potential to foster trust and facilitate closer collaboration between Russian and Sierra Leonean businesses. Amidst an ongoing energy crisis in Sierra Leone, Kabba welcomed Russia’s potential investments in the energy sector while stressing the importance of eco-friendly solutions.
In ensuring transparency and investor confidence, Kabba assured that all agreements concerning private business in Sierra Leone undergo thorough ratification by parliament, offering added security for foreign investors. The burgeoning partnership between Sierra Leone and Russia holds promise in addressing Sierra Leone’s energy challenges while fostering mutually beneficial cooperation.
As discussions progress, both nations remain committed to exploring avenues for sustainable development and progress in the realm of peaceful nuclear energy. The dialogue signals a promising chapter in the relationship between Sierra Leone and Russia, with the potential to yield significant benefits for both countries and contribute to global efforts towards clean energy and sustainable development.
This is the news you’ll get when a franscans is at the helm of affairs, this is good news to the core
We welcome the Federation of Russia!
Collaborating with Russia is of no use, to my own opinion and am saying it for myself and my children and my grand children to come, we don’t need your help I know you’re coming because you see something that you like and what to profit and get it, sierra Leone can be developed without the hands of those guys we have all what makes a country talk of the world.
Leaders of sierra Leone be wise, the only thing Russia do for countries in Africa is to supply them with arms and irons which we’re tired of now. Our collaboration with the Americans and reinforcing it will be fruitful than making another puit for our downfall.
We can’t even manage the basic production of energy from fossil fuel how can we manage a complex nuclear power plant. Corruption and inefficiency has destroyed our nation and now we will be engulfed in a nuclear catastrophe. May Allah help us.
We love you Russa fock to the west

It make you wonder, people can believe the stories. This one is just “pie in the sky” . Let us ask ourselves, how many countries in Europe have a nuclear power plant or in the world? England, does not even have a nuclear power plant nor does any African country. Please give us a break, we are still waiting for the Lungi Bridge.
