Rabat, Morocco – December 3, 2025 The Vice President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, has paid a courtesy visit to the Sierra Leone Embassy in Rabat, Kingdom of Morocco, on Monday, December 1, 2025.
Vice President Jalloh was warmly received by Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to Morocco, H.E. Alhaji Momodu Koroma, along with Embassy staff. Ambassador Koroma conducted the Vice President on a tour of the Chancery building before hosting a meeting with staff members.
In his welcome remarks, Ambassador Koroma reaffirmed the Embassy’s commitment to strengthening bilateral relations between Sierra Leone and Morocco. He expressed gratitude for the Vice President’s visit and commended President Julius Maada Bio’s decision to establish the Embassy in Morocco, describing it as a significant step in consolidating ties between the two nations.
Addressing the gathering, Vice President Jalloh reflected on the longstanding cooperation between Sierra Leone and Morocco. He recalled that President Bio, during his 2017 campaign, pledged to establish a diplomatic mission in Morocco, a commitment that has since been fulfilled alongside the reciprocal opening of the Moroccan Embassy in Sierra Leone.
The Vice President highlighted the strong diplomatic, political, and developmental cooperation between the two countries, noting their mutual support in multilateral fora such as the African Union and the United Nations. He emphasized Sierra Leone’s leading role in supporting Morocco’s Autonomy Plan for the Sahara, including backing UN Security Council Resolution 2797 adopted on October 31, 2025.
Dr. Jalloh further pointed out Sierra Leone’s early establishment of a Consulate in the Dakhla region and the active involvement of its Foreign Affairs Minister in supporting Morocco’s 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,” he stated.
While commending the Embassy’s professionalism and high standards, the Vice President expressed concern over the slow implementation of agreements and Memoranda of Understanding signed between the two countries. He pledged to address the issue upon his return to Sierra Leone to ensure faster progress.
Dr. Jalloh also raised the matter of limited returns from scholarships offered by Morocco, promising to engage the Ministry of Technical and Higher Education to maximize their impact. He encouraged Embassy staff to redouble their efforts and multitask to enhance efficiency in fulfilling their diplomatic mandate.
The visit concluded with Vice President Jalloh praising the dedication of the Embassy staff and reaffirming Sierra Leone’s commitment to deepening ties with Morocco.
