Building a shared vision for stability
Discussions highlighted Liberia’s commitment to adopting international best practices and to learning from Morocco’s globally recognized expertise in counter-terrorism, intelligence sharing, and modern policing. By drawing on Morocco’s experience, Liberia aims to enhance the operational efficiency of its domestic security institutions and contribute to regional stability.

The signing ceremony is scheduled for May 2026 in Rabat, coinciding with the 70th Anniversary of the DGSN. This symbolic date underscores the depth of the diplomatic and security partnership between Monrovia and Rabat.
A strategic pillar of Liberia’s Diplomacy
