He commended Liberia for displaying remarkable resilience and unwavering determination in the face of numerous challenges and obstacles—a true exemplar for the entire West African region.

One distinctive point he highlighted was that Liberia holds the unique distinction of being the sole nation on the African continent that has never experienced foreign colonization. This noteworthy historical fact deserved high praise and acknowledgment.
