Recently, Chinese Ambassador to Liberia H.E. Ren Yisheng was invited to attend the Coordination Meeting of International Donors of the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority of Liberia (NaFAA). Mr. Li Jiang, Economic and Commercial Counselor of the Embassy, and representatives of the European Union, the World Bank, and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Liberia attended the meeting. 

Ambassador Ren briefed the fruitful outcome of China-Liberia economic and trade cooperation, shared China's successful experience in fishery development, and put forward suggestions for further strengthening China-Liberia fishery cooperation.
