Sierra Leone Telegraph: 7 December 2018:

Sierra Leone’s High Commissioner Tamba Lamina and the Deputy High Commissioner Agnes Dugba Macauley, met this week with the UK Commonwealth Envoy, Mr Phillip Parham, at the Sierra Leone High Commission offices in London.

The three diplomats engaged in fruitful discussions, covering a wide range of topics, including the core workings of the Commonwealth institution and the UK- Sierra Leone relations.

They spoke about the inherited challenges of the New Direction government, as well as key areas of cooperation that could promote trade and investment between Sierra Leone and the rest of the Commonwealth.

The role of British parliamentary groups and institutions in facilitating the productive involvement of British NGOs in Sierra Leone was also discussed.

The High Commissioner Tamba Lamina also paid a courtesy call on the Guinean Ambassador to the UK, Alexandre Cece Loau.

They spoke about the longstanding neighbourly relationship between Sierra Leone and Guinea, and firmly expressed their mutual commitment to ensuring that the two countries continue to intensify and deepen this relationship at all levels.
