The President of the Republic, George Manneh Weah, on Thursday, September 14, 2023, left the country for the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, United States of America.
The UNGA 78th Session marks a crucial milestone in the journey towards achieving the 2030 Agenda and the urgent need to put the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) back on track.

It is President Weah’s 6th time participating in the annual global gathering since he assumed office in 2018.
