This is all the more reason we applaud the promising engagement between the United Nations Office for West Africa (UNOWAS) and the Peacebuilding Commission. Ambassador Kemayah also made special mention of the Peacebuilding Support Office and the Liberia Configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission chaired by His Excellency Ambassador Olof Skoog of Sweden. Furthermore, the Peacebuilding Support Office (PBSO) remains a strong pillar; very supportive of Liberia’s peacebuilding initiatives. Ambassador Valderrama thanked Ambassador Kemayah for his statement, and expressed that it reaffirms the assessment of the Joint United Nations Team that visited Liberia. The Annual Session of the Peacebuilding Commission convened at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on December 4, 2019.
