Today British Companies are very much engaged in the economic transformation of Sierra Leone. Today,Her Majesty's Government, through IMMAT and now ISAT, is engaged in entrenching security in our land; and Britain's Department for International Development is supporting us meet challenges in the health, justice, extractive and other sectors.Let me, through you, transmit to Her Majesty's Government, and the people of Britain, our deep appreciation of Britain's invaluable support for our democracy, our security, and socio- economic transformation.

 

We very much value our relationship with Britain. We believe that the historic compact is on a sounder footing for greater engagement that will be mutually beneficial to the citizens and governments of our countries. We aim at boosting trade with Britain; we aim at improving transparent relationships between British Private Companies operating in Sierra Leone and our citizens; we are acting towards greater reforms of our doing business environment to attract more foreign direct investment. We will continue to boost security with support from ISAT, continue to strengthen our democracy, continue to act as a force for peace and freedom in Africa and the entire world, and we look forward to the support of our friendliest of countries, Great Britain, as we commence the implementation of our Agenda for Prosperity.

 

I wish you a happy and fulfilling tenure in Sierra Leone.
