 The nine-member delegation began their visit with a courtesy call on Liberia’s Acting Minister of Finance and Development Planning, Hon. Anthony G. Myers, on Tuesday.

Acting Minister Myers welcomed the delegation and affirmed Liberia’s readiness to share information and experiences. 
 
He also acknowledged the challenging history of South Sudan and the progress it has made since gaining independence.
“South Sudan and Liberia share similar history of war, but as we did in 2006, it’s our hope that your country will continue to grow with the presence of peace”, he said.
 
Throughout the week, the South Sudan delegation will engage with key officials from the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, including Deputy Minister of Economic Management Hon.
