Ambassador-designate today met with Mr Pol De Witte, Director General of the Egmont Institute in Brussels.
Ambassador Jusu explained that the purpose of his visit was to acknowledge the influence of the Egmont Institute, an independent Brussels-based think tank. He highlighted that Sierra Leone, as a small nation, can sometimes be overlooked in international discussions, particularly concerning Belgium’s partnerships with other countries. It is for this reason, he stated, that Sierra Leone is keen to partner with an institute like Egmont, seeking their advice and support.
The Ambassador-designate also discussed the increasing complexity of modern diplomacy, emphasising the need for diplomats to be well-informed about developments across different organisations.
Mr Pol De Witte, the Director General of the Institute, provided an overview of the Egmont Institute’s functions and extended a warm welcome to the Ambassador. He assured Ambassador Jusu of the Institute’s full support whenever required.
Mr De Witte also offered advice on engaging with various institutions following the presentation of credentials.
