Rabat, 3rd December 2025
The Honourable Vice President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh paid a courtesy visit to the Sierra Leone Embassy in Rabat, Kingdom of Morocco., on Monday, the 1st of December 2025.
The Honourable Vice President was received by Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Morocco, H.E. Alhaji Momodu Koroma, and was warmly welcomed by Embassy staff. Ambassador Koroma took the Hon Vice President on a conducted tour of the Chancery building and was invited to have a brief discussion with Embassy staff.
Welcoming the Hon Vice President, Ambassador Koroma introduced the full staff complement and reaffirmed the Embassy’s commitment to deepening bilateral relations with the host country. The Ambassador expressed delight for the visit of the Vice President to the Sierra Leone Embassy in Rabat, Morocco and expressed gratitude for taking time to visit the Embassy. He extended further gratitude to His Excellency the President for the decision to open an Embassy in Morocco, as a way of concretising the diplomatic relations between the two friendly nations.
Addressing the meeting, Vice President Jalloh reflected on the longstanding cooperation between Sierra Leone and Morocco. He recalled that since 2017, when the then-opposition leader, President Julius Maada Bio was campaigning for the 2018 elections, he committed to establishing diplomatic mission in Morocco followed by the reciprocal opening of the Moroccan Embassy in Sierra Leone. That commitment, he said, has been honoured by President Bio and his counterpart.
Vice President Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh highlighted the strong diplomatic, political, and development cooperation between the two countries, noting mutual support in multilateral fora, including the African Union and the United Nations.
He also referenced Sierra Leone’s leading role in supporting Morocco’s landmark Autonomy Plan for the Sahara, including Sierra Leone’s backing of UN Security Council Resolution 2797 (2025) adopted on 31st October 2025.
He noted further that Sierra Leone was among the first nations to open a Consulate in the Dakhla region and to dispatch its Foreign Affairs Minister to make statements in support of the initiative.
“Morocco today is one of the most important countries in Africa, and because of that, Sierra Leone will always have an Embassy in Morocco as the Embassy is one of our most important missions on the continent,” the Vice President stated.
The Honourable Vice President lamented the fact that even though Morocco had signed several agreements and MOUs with Sierra Leone, the level of implementation of these agreements remains very low. He promised, on his return home to pay attention to the matter as a way of speeding up implementation.
The Vice President has also discussed the low level of returns on the scholarships that have been offered by Morocco. He promised on return to engage the Ministry of Technical and Higher Education on the matter.
He urged the Embassy staff to double their efforts by multitasking to ensure greater efficiency and effectiveness in fulfilling the mandate of the Embassy
He concluded by commending the good work of the Embassy and complimented its high standards and professional atmosphere.
