The Ambassador
H.E Gurly T Gibson-Schwarz
Ambassador Gibson-Schwarz assumed her post in February 2019.
Here’s what she has to say about her newly appointed role:
“It was December 4, 2018 when I received the news that I had been confirmed by the Liberian Senate to serve as Ambassador of Liberia to the United Kingdom. It was a beginning of a new day where my team at our mission will have the opportunity to work closely with the United Kingdom to advance Liberia’s vital interests with dividends. The opportunity to work with Liberians with various background and skills in promoting sustainable economic growth for Liberia.”
Here’s what H.E hopes for the future between Liberia and the UK:
“I believe my experience will help guide me as I lead the Liberian mission in the U.K. to strengthen and enhance U.K-Liberia relations; negotiate mutual beneficial agreements between the Liberian government and the British Government and many U.K corporations. It will assist me in developing strategic partnerships with all levels of decision makers-promoting economic diplomacy and promoting the pro-poor development agenda with the goal of lifting the Liberian people out of poverty through sustainable development. Foreign Service is not new to me. I will continue the work I started while serving as Consul for Trade and Investment at our embassy in Washington, DC. I will work to represent the government and people of Liberia to the best of my ability and champion President George Weah’s policy objectives in the United Kingdom of Great Britain with great passion and commitment.”
