Internal Affairs Minister, Morris M. Dukuly has called on the French Embassy in Monrovia to help attract more French Investments to Liberia.

He said as Liberia recovers from the ravages of war, it needs more foreign investments, and adds that France could play a major role in this regard.

He described the European Country, as an important partner in Liberia's history, dating far back as Liberia's  early years of independence.

He said ties between the two countries should be cemented at all levels, particularly in the areas of economic growth and agriculture.

He made specific reference to southeastern Liberia, which according to him, has a great potential due to its border with La Cote d'lvoire, a former French colony.

The Internal Affairs Minister was speaking recently, when the new French Ambassador to Liberia, Joel Godeau paid him a courtesy call at his Capitol Hill office.

Minister Dukuly was focused on agriculture and trans-border trade between the sister-Republic of La Cote d I'voire, which he said will help stabilize Liberia and strengthen the economy.

Responding, Amb. Godeau said France will continue to cooperate with Liberia in its development drive.

He welcomed the Minister's concerns, which he said if addressed will stabilized, not only Liberia, but the entire MRU sub-region.
