Describing social security as a basic human right, the Director General stressed that Sierra Leone\u2019s long-term economic resilience depended significantly on expanding these legal safety nets beyond corporate and government institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Responding, the Egyptian Ambassador to Sierra Leone, Rasha Soliman Mohi Eldin Soliman, reiterated Cairo\u2019s commitment to extensive bilateral cooperation with Sierra Leone, emphasising her country\u2019s readiness to support technical exchanges, capacity development, and comprehensive social protection systems, in line with Sierra Leone\u2019s national development strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Ambassador Soliman highlighted Egypt\u2019s demand-driven strategy for development partnership, noting that the Embassy of Egypt was fully ready to collaborate by sharing its expertise to support Sierra Leone\u2019s social protection objectives. She emphasised that effective cooperation between the two nations depended on practical, hands-on knowledge exchange.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEgypt will support vocational collaboration, capacity development for social security workers, and technical advisory services to help Sierra Leone\u2019s future informal pension scheme become a regional success story\u201d, she concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Sierra-Leone<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Sierra-Leone.
