The topics reflect the ongoing commitment of the Sierra Leonean government to address pertinent issues affecting its citizens, particularly women and children.

Following the discussions, the High Commissioner and her delegation were given a guided tour of key areas within the Parliament, including the Parliament Library, the Chamber, and significant historical sites such as the grave sites of the late Sir Milton Margai, the nation’s first Prime Minister, and Siaka P. Stevens, the first Executive President. The tour not only highlighted the architectural beauty of the Parliament but also reinforced the importance of understanding Sierra Leone’s rich political history and its evolution.
