The host officials in their first interaction with President Weah and delegation, promised to help him transform Liberia. Before President Weah could end his remarks, the Crown Prince and the Deputy Supreme Commander of UAE’s Armed Forces, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, apparently marveled by the President’s passion for development of his country, added, “President Weah, name your priorities and they will be done.”President Weah then named road connectivity, including a coastal highway, agriculture, the revamping of the Liberia Electricity Corporation, renewable energy, health and education as top priorities of his administration’s first term. “I will work with you to achieve whatever you want to be your legacy as development in your country,” the Crown Prince promised President Weah and delegation. The UAE officials said they consider President Weah’s visit as a homecoming to Abu Dhabi where he played soccer for three years. The Crown Prince hailed the visit and hope it would strengthen the ties between UAE and Liberia and open up new avenues for bilateral cooperation with mutual interests.
