Liberia: ECOWAS Commission President Delighted Over Ambassador Conteh Accreditation
Nov 9, 2009
by MOFA Press Release /
Monrovia, Monday, November 9, 2009: The President of the ECOWAS Commission, Dr. Mohamed Ibn Chambas has expressed his appreciation to the Government of Liberia for appointing Dr. Al-Hassan Conteh as its Permanent Representative to ECOWAS.
According to a Foreign Ministry release, Dr. Chambas made the commendation last Thursday in Abuja, Nigeria at an accreditation ceremony held at the ECOWAS Commission in Abuja of the Liberian envoy, who is also Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Speaking at a ceremony, the ECOWAS President said it is his sincere hope that Ambassador Conteh’s appointment will encourage the development initiatives and the realization of projects aimed at accelerating the pace of integration in the sub-region, for the greater well being of the West African peoples.
Speaking earlier, Dr. Conteh, who is former President of the University of Liberia, said he had the honor, on behalf of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and the people of Liberia to present his Letter of Credence to the ECOWAS President. He said this represented the great value, which Liberia had in the work of ECOWAS.
Liberia's accreditation to Nigeria and ECOWAS this week marks a major turning point in the country’s sub-regional diplomatic history. This was the first occurrence for the country in over a decade of such a landmark achievement.
Ambassador Conteh also holds multiple accreditations to Benin, Togo and ECOWAS. ECOWAS played a leading role in ending the Liberian civil war of 1989-2003.
Liberia is now rebuilding under the dynamic leadership of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa’s first democratically elected female president.
Signed:
Josephus M. Gray
Assistant Foreign Minister/ Public Affairs
Republic of Liberia
