Information

As Sierra Leone’s top diplomat, Dr. Kamara is passionately dedicated to expanding the Sierra Leonean foreign service, and guiding it to take a regional advocacy role by communicating “why Africa matters” to the world. Under his stewardship, Sierra Leone is working with African partners for a stronger and more unified African voice on international affairs, including that of the reform of the United Nations Security Council to induct two permanent African members. In 2017, the African Union has identified key items which it will be communicating to the United Nations as one voice in a unified diplomatic bloc for greater exposure.
