This move is in line with Liberia’s foreign policy to enhance its relations with Caribbean countries, particularly focusing on tourism, trade, and investment opportunities.
Monrovia – The President of Barbados, H.E. Dame Sandra Prunella Mason, will lead a high-level delegation to Liberia this week for a three-day visit aimed at deepening cultural and economic ties between the two countries.
The visit follows the formal presentation of letters of credence by Madam Juliette Bynoe-Sutherland, Barbados’ Ambassador to Liberia and Ghana, to President Joseph Boakai on April 29.
This move is in line with Liberia’s foreign policy to enhance its relations with Caribbean countries, particularly focusing on tourism, trade, and investment opportunities.
The Barbadian delegation, led by President Mason, will arrive in Liberia on May 8, 2025. The visit will include bilateral discussions and the signing of agreements to foster cooperation in areas such as tourism, human resource training, and cultural exchanges.
Notably, there will be a focus on potential collaborations between Barbadian educational institutions and Liberia, along with opportunities for festivals and event management.
During her visit, President Mason will join President Boikai for a luncheon at the Monrovia City Hall, followed by a visit to Providence Island on May 9.
On May 10, the two leaders will travel to Crozierville, where a Presidential Monument will be dedicated to three Liberian presidents of Barbadian descent: Arthur Barclay, Edwin Barclay, and Gyude Bryant. The monument will honor the 346 Barbadian families who settled in Crozierville, contributing significantly to Liberia’s governance, law, media, and communication sectors.
The discussions will also focus on economic partnerships, particularly in fisheries and the potential for rum production in Liberia. Both countries are keen to develop Crozierville into a major heritage tourism destination, capitalizing on its historical and cultural significance.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Sara Beysolow Nyanti, expressed optimism about the bilateral relations, saying, “This bilateral relationship will bear fruit. We welcome our Bajan brothers and sisters with open arms and look forward to deepening people-to-people ties, cultural enrichment, and economic cooperation.”
The visit also celebrates the historical ties between the two nations, dating back to May 10, 1865, when 346 Barbadian settlers arrived in Liberia at the invitation of Liberia’s third president, Daniel B. Warner. These families played an instrumental role in Liberia’s development.
The Government of Liberia has invited citizens to join in welcoming the President of Barbados and her delegation, as both nations honor their shared history and work toward a prosperous future.
