Monrovia – 18 January 2026
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mme. Sara Beysolow Nyanti, is leading the country’s official participation at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting, taking place 19–23 January 2026 in Davos-Klosters.
Liberia’s presence at WEF Davos follows months of sustained engagement and high-level outreach led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to secure Liberia’s entry into this premier global economic platform.
The delegation, headed by Foreign Minister Nyanti includes the Minister of Finance and Development Planning, Hon. Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan, and the Chairman of the National Investment Commission, Mr. Jeff Blibo—underscoring a coordinated, whole-of-government economic diplomacy strategy anchored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Liberia’s engagement at WEF is sponsored by Foreign Policy Magazine and other partners and will feature invitation-only roundtable on “The Future of Liberia: Global Partnerships and Economic Diplomacy.” The session will take place on Tuesday, 20 January 2026, at the Financial Times House (Hotel Parsenn) in Davos and will bring together global investors, multinational executives, and senior development finance leaders.
During the roundtable, Minister Ngafuan will deliver a keynote address highlighting Liberia’s transition toward investment readiness and emerging opportunities across key sectors. The discussion will also examine the implications of Liberia’s assumption of its seat as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, and the country’s expanding role in regional stability and global cooperation.
The 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum, held under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue,” convenes nearly 3,000 participants from over 130 countries, including heads of state, ministers, and chief executives of leading global companies, at a time of heightened global uncertainty.
Liberia’s inaugural participation at WEF Davos, secured and led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs signals the country’s renewed commitment to proactive global engagement, investor confidence-building, and a unified national approach to economic diplomacy in support of inclusive growth and long-term development.
