The Ambassador's Welcome Message
I am delighted and honoured to welcome you to the Official Website of the Embassy of the Republic of Sierra Leone in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Republic of Sierra Leone has been enjoying long bilateral relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia dating back from 1979.
The goal of the Embassy is to strengthen the bilateral relations between the Republic of Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as the Sultanate of Oman and Syria.
The Embassy prioritizes the promotion of Economic Diplomacy which involves; wooing trade opportunities, attracting foreign direct investment, boosting tourism, and building Sierra Leone’s image globally in line with the National Medium-Term Development Plan (2019-2023).
Sierra Leone is a permanent member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). That’s why our mission is a multilateral one.
This website, therefore, serves as a useful guide for the provision of relevant information regarding Sierra Leone’s tourism, trade and investment opportunities, issues relating to Hajj & Umrah, education, culture, politics, economy, foreign affairs etc., as well as providing consular services and staff information of the Embassy, and seeking the welfare of Sierra Leoneans in the Kingdom and the Middle East.
We warmly welcome your comments and suggestions with a view to improving on the website.
Thank you!
Mohammed S. Barrie
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
