African countries, and Liberia being one of the first in this regard, have very high percentages of young people in their populations. This is their greatest asset, stated Dr. Leo E. Tiah, Executive Director of the Liberian Chapter of the Network of Young Parliamentarians, at the Cuban Embassy in Monrovia.
The Revolutionary Government condemns in the strongest terms the despicable accusation by the United States Department of Justice, announced on May 20 and foreshadowed for several weeks, against Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution.
On May 19, as a tribute to the death in combat of Cuba's National Hero, and inspired by the strong context of creative resistance and anti-imperialist steadfastness, the staff of the Cuban Embassy in Monrovia, together with Liberian workers, sang the National Anthem and raised the tricolor flag at the mission's new headquarters.
The Food Authority (FAL), headed by Director General, the Honorable Precellia Cherue, is one of Liberia's newest government agencies.
The Agency, which seeks to exchange information and technical expertise in the field, invited Cuban Ambassador Dr. Indira López Arguelles to its headquarters.
The Ambassador, in addition to thanking the Liberian people and government for their support of Cuba's fight against the U.S. blockade, noted its significant impact on exports, food production, and ensuring access to basic food staples for the Cuban people.
As part of the activities for the establishment of bilateral relations between the two countries, the Cuban Ambassador, Dr. Indira López Argüelles, visited former President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate H.E. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first African woman to lead a country and a role model for new generations in the fight for peace, tolerance, gender equality, and the African voice in the multilateral arena.
