Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The meeting, organized by the Liberian Embassy in Rome, is part of ongoing efforts to encourage foreign investment and strengthen Liberia\u2019s economic ties with Italy.<\/p>\n

President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, on Wednesday held a high-profile meeting with representatives of Confimea Mediterraneo, a prominent Italian association representing over 250 enterprises across various sectors, including health, green economy, agriculture, oil and gas, construction, food, transport, and logistics.<\/p>\n

The meeting, organized by the Liberian Embassy in Rome, is part of ongoing efforts to encourage foreign investment and strengthen Liberia\u2019s economic ties with Italy.<\/p>\n

Confimea Mediterraneo is a key participant in the Mattei Plan for Africa, an initiative promoted by the Italian Government to foster deeper economic partnerships with African nations.<\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering of Italian business leaders, President Boakai emphasized Liberia\u2019s status as a \u201cvirgin nation\u201d with vast untapped investment opportunities. He assured potential investors of the country\u2019s friendly business environment and the prospects for significant returns on investment, particularly given Liberia\u2019s strategic position within West Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoing business in Liberia offers tremendous opportunities, especially in terms of profitability,\u201d President Boakai stated. He also pointed to Liberia\u2019s advantageous location for transshipment, facilitated by trade protocols within the Mano River Union, which simplify the movement of goods and services across the region.<\/p>\n

The discussion attracted interest from Italian business leaders, who inquired about opportunities in sectors such as oil and gas, tourism, sanitation, health services, agriculture, green energy, power generation, and infrastructure development.<\/p>\n

Liberia\u2019s Minister of Information, Cultural Affairs and Tourism, Jerelimek Piah, and Minister of Agriculture, Alexander Neutah, were present to address these inquiries and provide insights into sector-specific opportunities.<\/p>\n

President Boakai expressed optimism for Italian businesses to invest in Liberia\u2019s road networks, banking sector, and restaurant industry, while also exploring the feasibility of constructing a coastal highway.<\/p>\n

He highlighted the need for expanding the country\u2019s key seaports in Monrovia, Harper, Buchanan, and Greenville to accommodate increasing trade.<\/p>\n

In his closing remarks, President Boakai underscored Liberia\u2019s strong democratic foundation, noting that the country has successfully held four successive free, fair, and transparent elections. This stability, he said, contributes to an environment that is conducive to business and investment.<\/p>\n

The President of Confimea Mediterraneo, Marco Bourelly, expressed interest in furthering the relationship with Liberia, committing to work closely with the Liberian Embassy in Rome to organize a trade delegation to Liberia soon.<\/p>\n
