MONROVIA, LIBERIA-President Joseph Boakai has called on French President Emmanuel Macron to champion Liberia’s nomination as Chair and Co-Chair for four Sanctions Committees.

President Boakai, during a bilateral meeting with President Macron in Paris on Thursday, October 30, 2025, highlighted Liberia’s historic role in the United Nations Charter.

The meeting also focused on strengthening Liberia-France relations, deepening cooperation in key development areas, and advancing Liberia’s international aspirations.

He noted that, despite this legacy, Liberia is one of the four countries that have never served a full term on the UN Security Council, making its current win on the Security Council Non-Permanent Seat both symbolic and strategic.

President Boakai also renewed Liberia’s focus on inclusive growth, highlighting initiatives that empower women and persons with disabilities.

Both sides recognized the importance of translating these discussions into action through technical cooperation and follow-up mechanisms.

President Boakai expressed appreciation to President Macron and the people of France for their friendship and partnership toward Liberia’s progress and transformation.
