Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Mohamed Rahman Swaray, has called on Sierra Leoneans in the diaspora to bring home their expertise, ideas and international connections to support national development.
Swaray made the call during the Civic Day USA Edition in New York, urging Sierra Leoneans abroad to use their professional networks and experience to strengthen the country’s international partnerships.
He said the Ministry’s work builds on initiatives established by previous administrations and supported by Sierra Leone’s diplomatic missions, including the Embassy in Washington, D.C.
The Minister encouraged Sierra Leoneans to examine how countries such as Ghana and Liberia engage their diaspora and to propose practical approaches for strengthening diplomatic and economic cooperation.
He stressed that government’s efforts should be measured by tangible results for the country rather than by the level of effort invested.
Swaray assured the diaspora of the Ministry’s commitment to work with Sierra Leoneans abroad to harness their ideas, skills and networks for national development.
The New York Civic Day was designed to create a platform for Sierra Leoneans in the United States to engage directly with senior government officials on national development and public policy.
