The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Liberia Cllr. N. Oswald Tweh, has briefed the Liberia Council of Churches on the government’s ongoing diplomatic efforts to address a border dispute between Liberia and Guinea.
The meeting, held during the week in Monrovia, was convened at the request of the church body, which sought direct information from the government about the measures being taken to resolve the situation peacefully.
Tweh, who also serves as chair of Liberia’s Joint Security Council, outlined a series of diplomatic engagements initiated by the government aimed at easing tensions and encouraging dialogue between the two neighboring countries.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry over the weekend, Cllr. Tweah assured church leaders that the government remains committed to maintaining peace and stability along Liberia’s borders while continuing discussions with Guinean authorities to reach a mutually acceptable resolution.
“Liberia values its long-standing relationship with Guinea and is prioritizing diplomacy as the most effective pathway to resolving the dispute,” the minister said, adding that the government will also safeguard the country’s territorial integrity.
For his part, Christopher Wleh Toe, Secretary General of the Liberia Council of Churches, welcomed the government’s update and encouraged authorities to sustain peaceful dialogue.
The church body also pledged its support for national peace and unity as diplomatic engagements continue.
The statement further noted that the government remains confident that continued dialogue and cooperation will help resolve the matter while preserving the historic ties and peaceful coexistence between Liberia and Guinea.
