Mr. Johnson, who was making his first trip to Africa as the UK’s foreign secretary, stopped over en route to the UK following visits to Sierra Leone and the Gambia. Touching on his discussions with Liberian government officials, the UK foreign secretary termed the discussions as “very valuable” understanding the country’s huge potential. “We look forward to quick decisions on those issues that are already before the UK Government,” foreign minister Kamara indicated. “It should help them reach decision points on many of the issues,” foreign minister Kamara emphasized. During his stopover, UK foreign secretary Johnson also visited the Firestone Natural Rubber Company (Firestone Liberia) near the Roberts International Airport.
