During the conference, the Vice President engaged with global leaders, policymakers, and development partners on some of the world’s most pressing challenges, including the global implications of the Strait of Hormuz crisis.

During these engagements, Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh highlighted the unique vulnerabilities faced by small economies such as Sierra Leone and underscored the urgent need for more flexible financing mechanisms to enable countries to withstand and recover from global shocks.
“I leave Hamburg encouraged by the shared commitment to practical solutions and stronger international cooperation,” the Vice President said.
He reaffirmed that Sierra Leone will continue to be an active voice in shaping a more resilient, inclusive, and equitable future for countries across the Global South.

Through his commitment to good governance, transparency, and sustainable development, he has contributed significantly to strengthening Sierra Leone’s democratic institutions, promoting accountability, and creating an enabling environment for investment and inclusive economic growth.
He has also remained an active and respected voice in international engagements, advocating for Sierra Leone’s interests while contributing meaningfully to global discussions on peace, security, sustainable development, climate resilience, regional economic integration, and public health.
His participation in regional and international forums has elevated Sierra Leone’s diplomatic profile and fostered strategic partnerships that continue to deliver tangible benefits for the nation. His consistent display of diplomacy, strategic foresight, and collaborative leadership underscores his role as a key statesman helping to shape both Sierra Leone’s future and its standing within the international community.
