Information Minister Cletus Sieh has disclosed that the Brazilian Government would construct Liberia's hydro system which was
completely destroyed during the country's armed conflict.
He said the construction of the hydro by the Brazilian government is as a result of President Sirleaf's recent visit to that country.
The Information Minister was speaking during a joint press conference held yesterday with Presidential Press Secretary, Mr.
Cyrus W. Badio, the Director of the Cabinet and Mr. Momo Rogers at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs barely four hours after a
cabinet meeting held at that Ministry.
Mr. Sieh could not give detail of the pending construction of the hydro at Mount Coffee in upper Montserrado County. He,
however, said the Government of Brazil had consented to build the hydro. It may be recalled that during President Johnson
Sirleaf's recent visit to that country, both countries agreed to increase friendly exchanges at various levels, and expand practical
cooperation to further develop and accelerate Liberia-Brazil relations and cooperation.
At the end of the visit, Agreements and Memorandums of Understanding were signed between the two governments to
strengthen bilateral ties. The two countries agreed to establish a Liberia-Brazil joint commission and a mechanism for political
consultations.
It can also be recalled that the two Heads of State expressed their support and commitment to the promotion of South-South
cooperation as a vehicle for establishing effective economic linkages among developing countries and accelerating the
development of these countries. They noted that South-South Cooperation is not a substitute for North-South Cooperation but
that the two can be complementary.
The visit was the first official visit by a Liberian Head of State since Brazil and Liberia signed a Treaty of Friendship and
Commerce 158 years ago.
