Moyamba, Sierra Leone — The United States Ambassador to Sierra Leone Bryan David Hunt has paid a diplomatic visit to Moyamba District, marking yet another step in strengthening bilateral relations between the two nations.
During his one-day visit, the Ambassador met with Joseph B. Gbogba, Chairman of the Moyamba District Council, where they discussed key areas of collaboration aimed at supporting local governance and development initiatives in the district. The meeting emphasized the importance of continued U.S. support in fostering transparent and accountable governance structures at the district level.
