The United States Embassy in Sierra Leone confirmed in a statement that Linda Thomas Greenfield, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, will be visiting Sierra Leone this week.

In the statement, Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield will hold talks with Julius Maada Bio, the President, as well as engage with the country’s opposition leaders and the international community to discuss progress in the delivery of the National Unity and Peace Accord signed by the government, the main opposition APC and the African Union following the June 2023 post-elections standoff between the government and the opposition APC party.

She also will discuss the Biden Administration's goals for Africa's commitments to democracy, promoting regional peace and security, inclusive and sustainable development, and empowering women and youth.
