Minister Nyanti also highlighted Liberia’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, requesting Chad’s support for the candidacy.
“Securing a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council would provide an opportunity for Africa to have a stronger voice in global governance,” Minister Nyanti stated. “With Chad’s support, we can amplify Africa’s role in shaping global affairs.”
President Deby assured Minister Nyanti of Chad’s full backing, stressing the importance of Africa having a more prominent voice in international decision-making. “Chad supports Liberia’s candidacy because it represents Africa’s collective vision for a stronger, more influential presence in the world,” President Déby remarked.
The two leaders also discussed the potential for increased collaboration in areas such as tourism, trade, and investment. Despite the geographical distance, both countries agreed on the need to strengthen ties in these sectors to contribute to Africa’s development and prosperity.
“This collaboration will be pivotal in ensuring that both nations achieve their respective goals and support the broader growth of Africa,” President Déby concluded.
