Sara Beysolow Nyanti, Liberia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been busy making diplomatic moves. On behalf of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, she met with Captain Ibrahim Traoré, the Head of State of Burkina Faso, in a high-level engagement aimed at strengthening regional peace and security.
But beyond the pleasantries, Liberia had a bigger agenda—securing Burkina Faso’s support for its bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for 2026-2027. This is more than just a title; it’s a strategic push to elevate Liberia’s voice in global decision-making, particularly in matters of peace and security.
To add weight to the visit, Minister Beysolow Nyanti proposed a meeting of the Alliance of Sahel-Saharan States (AES), a move that was met with positive reception from Captain Traoré. This signals Liberia’s intention to be an active player in regional diplomacy, ensuring that peace and stability remain top priorities.
On the sidelines of the meeting, Liberia’s Presidential Special Envoys on Investment and Tourism wasted no time. They hosted a private sector roundtable, bringing together Burkinabe investors who showed keen interest in exploring business opportunities in Liberia. This is the kind of proactive diplomacy that could open new economic doors for the country.
From peace talks to investment pitches, Liberia is making it clear—it’s ready to take up space, not just in regional affairs but on the global stage.
