He further said, “We, as a government are very, very delighted for the demonstrable and enviable stance of friendship and humanizing bond with the people of America.”
The Minister added that the founding of Liberia goes far back emanating from the United States of America and will not just only bring about a special bond link and friendship between the two countries but will also reaffirm the common values that both countries hold together.

The Minister of Information at the same time announced that President George Weah will be officially moving his office from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Grounds of the Executive Mansion on February 14, 2022.
According to him, the Liberian leader will only run the day to day affairs of his executive functions at the Mansion while the rest of the renovation process continues.
He however made it clear that the home of the President will not move to the Mansion because there is still renovation ongoing at some major floors that prevents him from sleeping in the unfinished structure.
