Monrovia, Liberia – The Center for National Documents and Records Agency (CNDRA) has officially endorsed the formation of joint technical commissions aimed at reaffirming land boundaries and demarcating maritime borders between Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. This initiative is seen as a crucial step towards fostering regional cooperation and ensuring peaceful coexistence among the West African nations.
CNDRA’s Deputy Director for Programs, Planning, and Projects, Mr. James T.

The CNDRA Deputy Director further noted that such dialogue and mediation are essential for promoting regional cooperation, improving overall stability, and ensuring the equitable management of shared resources among the four nations. If successfully implemented, this joint summit is anticipated to significantly enhance the ability of Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, and Sierra Leone to effectively manage their respective borders, leading to a more secure and prosperous region.
