The Chief's Diary: Deepening Sierra Leone-UK Cooperation Through Trade and Investment
In the week of October 13th, 2025, I will lead a high-powered delegation including government, private sector, and members of the creative industry to attend a series of trade and investment events in London, UK. Today, I met with the British High Commissioner H.E Josephine Gauld and her team to make final plans for the mission. Over three major events, we will meet the private sector, diaspora, investors, and others in the creative sector to highlight areas of growth and opportunity in Sierra Leone. We will have another event at the British International Investment HQ, focused on ways we can ensure the $100 million additional resources committed for investments in Sierra Leone are utilized. In partnership with Vult Inc., Labrum London, and Invest Salone, the Sierra Leone High Commission in the UK will also host a wonderful networking event.
