Dr. Al Khulaifi, who also serves as Chief Negotiator for the Israel-Gaza ceasefire and a recent recipient of the American Hostage Freedom Award, reaffirmed Qatar’s commitment to deepening bilateral and multilateral cooperation with Liberia and other nations within the Sahel region.

During the meeting, Minister Nyanti highlighted Liberia’s perspectives on the crisis in Mali and broader peace and development strategies across West Africa. She emphasized the need for sustained international collaboration to tackle the escalating humanitarian and security challenges in the Sahel.
The high-level dialogue brought together foreign ministers from Burkina Faso, Niger, The Gambia, and Mali, alongside representatives from the African Union Commission for Mali and the Sahel (MISAHEL). Discussions focused on aligning national and regional strategies with global development frameworks, enhancing humanitarian coordination, and strengthening resilience in fragile communities.
Liberia’s participation at the summit reaffirmed its commitment to regional diplomacy, inclusive dialogue, and strategic partnerships that promote peace and development.
Observers say Minister Nyanti’s engagement with Qatar’s top diplomat signals a new phase in Liberia’s foreign policy—one defined by proactive diplomacy, principled leadership, and deeper collaboration within the global community.
