NEW YORK, USA – In a move aimed at boosting trade and investment ties, Liberia’s Consul-General Prof. Dr. Thomas S. B. Kaydor and Deputy Consul-General Madam Moijama L. Dunor on Thursday welcomed two prominent African business leaders for a high-level dialogue on economic cooperation.
The delegation included Ms. Busie Matsiko-Andan, President of the New York Africa Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Brian Laung Aoaeh, CFA, Founder and Managing General Partner of Refashiond Ventures. Discussions centered on opportunities for strategic investment and the implementation of President Joseph Boakai’s recent Executive Order #151, which lays out a national strategy to revitalize Liberia’s rubber industry.
Both sides explored ways to attract targeted investment, expand value-added production, and position Liberia as a stronger competitor in regional and global markets.
Dr. Kaydor stressed the need for partnerships that translate policy into real economic growth, with a particular focus on agribusiness, manufacturing, and infrastructure. He said the Liberian Consulate in New York would continue to serve as a “gateway for investment” and a bridge between Liberia and the wider African business community.
The meeting, officials noted, reflects Liberia’s growing commitment to economic diplomacy and its drive to build impactful partnerships across the African business landscape.
