t a Flag Raising Ceremony in New York City, we proudly commemorated Sierra Leone’s 64th Independence Anniversary.
On behalf of H.E. President Julius Maada Bio and all Sierra Leoneans, H.E. Ambassador Michaela E. B. Swallow extended warm gratitude to Mayor Eric Adams and the City of New York for their steadfast friendship and partnership.
Ambassador Swallow celebrated the deepening ties between Sierra Leone and NYC — highlighting shared commitments to peacebuilding, youth empowerment, security cooperation, and inclusive development.
She also underscored Sierra Leone’s call for greater people-centered diplomacy and invited New Yorkers to explore Sierra Leone’s vibrant culture, investment opportunities, and resilient spirit.
As we raised the green, white, and blue, we raised our expectations for a future built on unity, justice, and shared prosperity.
