Patten Sr. will deliver the welcome remarks while the Doyen of the Diplomatic Corps of Liberia, Foreign Affairs Minister, Honorable Dee Maxwell Saah Kemayah Sr. will give the opening remarks. US Ambassador accredited near Monrovia, Michael McCarthy and other senior US government officials will also deliver statements.
The Minister of Finance, Honourable Samuel D. Tweah Jr. will be expected to make a presentation giving an outlook on the Liberian economy, its management and how it has fared during the pandemic.
