Embassy of the Republic of Liberia to the Benelux Countries and the European Union
Statement on the Commemoration of Africa Day – Monday, May 25, 2026

The Embassy of the Republic of Liberia near the Benelux Countries and the European Union, under the leadership of H.E. Ambassador J. Levi Demmah, extends warm greetings and best wishes to the African Union Group of Ambassadors- Brussels, diplomatic missions, and the diaspora community in the Benelux on the occasion of Africa Day.

The Embassy proudly joins the African Union and its member states in commemorating this important day under the theme: "Assuring Sustainable Water Availability and Safe Sanitation Systems to Achieve the Goals of Agenda 2063"

As the first independent Republic on the African continent, Liberia remains honored by its historical contribution to the advancement of African unity and solidarity. A milestone in this legacy was the hosting of the landmark Sanniquellie Conference in 1959, in Nimba County, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the Organization of African Unity (OAU)—now the African Union (AU).

Liberia’s enduring commitment to the ideals of Pan-Africanism, particularly during the era of imperialism, continues to inspire contemporary efforts toward continental integration, self-determination, and collective development.

On this solemn and celebratory occasion, the Embassy reaffirms Liberia’s unwavering support for the African Union’s vision of a united, peaceful, and prosperous Africa.

Happy Africa Day!

Happy International Day for Women in Maritime
Embassy of the Republic of Liberia to the Benelux Countries

Today, the Embassy of the Republic of Liberia to the Benelux Countries proudly joins the global maritime community in celebrating the International Day for Women in Maritime by honoring the remarkable contributions of Liberian women who continue to shape and strengthen the maritime sector.

This year, we are pleased to spotlight Cllr. Margaret C. Ansumana, Deputy Commissioner for Maritime Affairs at the Liberia Maritime Authority, for her outstanding leadership, professionalism, and dedication to maritime governance and international cooperation.

Cllr. Ansumana is a distinguished Maritime Legal Expert and negotiator with more than two decades of experience in ocean governance, maritime safety, security, and environmental administration. She is a member of the Liberia National Bar Association (LNBA) and the Association of Female Lawyers of Liberia (AFELL).

She holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration from the University of Liberia’s Romeo Horton College of Business and Public Administration, an LL.B. from the Louis Arthur Grimes School of Law, and an LL.M. in International Maritime Law from the IMO International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI) in Malta.

Since joining the Liberia Maritime Authority in 2006, with an assignment at the Liberia International Ship and Corporate Registry in Virginia, USA, Cllr. Ansumana has demonstrated exemplary service and leadership. Prior to this role, she served as the Alternate Permanent Representative of Liberia to the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

Over the years, she has led Liberian Government delegations to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), International Labour Organization (ILO), United Nations (UN), and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), representing Liberia at major global forums and conferences in London, Paris, Geneva, New York, and beyond. In these capacities, she successfully negotiated and concluded several bilateral Maritime Transport Agreements on behalf of the Government of Liberia.

As Liberia’s first female Maritime Lawyer, Cllr. Ansumana continues to inspire and mentor a new generation of Liberian women and men within the maritime sector, many of whom now serve with distinction in their respective careers.

On this International Day for Women in Maritime, we celebrate Cllr. Margaret C. Ansumana and all women whose leadership and commitment continue to advance the maritime industry locally and globally.
