On behalf of the Government and people of the Republic of Sierra Leone, and in my own capacity as Ambassador of the Republic of Sierra Leone to the People’s Republic of China, I extend warm New Year greetings to all Sierra Leoneans residing across China.
As we usher in the New Year, it is a moment for reflection, gratitude, and renewed hope. I commend you for your resilience, hard work, and commitment to upholding the good name of Sierra Leone wherever you find yourselves. Your contributions—whether in education, business, diplomacy, or community service—continue to strengthen the bonds of friendship and cooperation between Sierra Leone and China.

The New Year presents fresh opportunities to deepen unity among ourselves, to support one another, and to serve as proud ambassadors of our nation’s values, culture, and aspirations. I encourage you all to remain law-abiding, focused, and united, while continuing to pursue excellence and positive engagement with your host communities.

May this New Year bring you good health, peace, prosperity, and success in all your endeavors. May it also bring renewed progress and development to our beloved Sierra Leone.

I wish you and your families a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

H.E Dr. Abu Bakarr Karim
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
