Draft Framework in the WorksMinister Beysolow revealed that the government has now developed a draft economic diplomacy framework intended to guide Liberia’s embassies in identifying and promoting priority investment sectors. Foreign investors, she noted, must be assured of impartial trials and legal protection should disputes arise from their investments. Economic Diplomacy at the CoreUnder President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Liberia has repositioned economic diplomacy as a cornerstone of its foreign policy—aimed at shifting the country from aid dependence to an investment-driven economy. The strategy seeks to advance national economic goals by attracting foreign direct investment, expanding trade partnerships, strengthening international cooperation, and promoting sustainable development. While acknowledging early successes, Minister Beysolow’s admission highlights a critical gap: Liberia’s economic diplomacy push has been active—but until now, largely without a formal roadmap.
