我见 我闻 我思

打开另一扇美非交流之大门

由非洲赖比瑞亚首都蒙罗维亚市市长柯琪率领之代表团一行，今午来到美南新闻总部进行交流访问 ，我们非常热烈欢迎这批远道而来的访客。

十九世纪美国為解放黑奴乃选择赖国為黑人迁徙地，於1822 年协助首批黑人迁居，赖比瑞亚在1847 年7月26日正式宣布独立，為非洲最高独立之共和国， 首都蒙罗维亚，濒临大西洋，是该国最重要的政治和経济中心。

柯琪市长在接受美南电视之访问中， 谈到非常热望和徳州休斯敦结為姐妹市， 并且已得到特纳市长之大力支持， 今后将进一步加强美非及两市之交流和合作。

美南新闻集团属下的国际贸易中心，过去十五年来不断推进国际文化、経济交流， 尤其非洲大陆曾两次举办徳非高峰会。

市长代表团一行参观了美南新闻总部，并希望今后為赖比维亚大力推广该国之观光文化交流， 我们已经允应在明年举办一次推广活动，这位年青充满活力的首都市长， 对於和休斯敦市的姐妹市关係，充满期待， 并将在十二月份接待来自休斯敦之代表团， 签订姐妹市合约。

我们甚盼柯琪市长之来访 ，再次打开另一扇美非两国交流之大门。

The Mayor of Monrovia Feiffer Koijee Came To Town

We are so honored to receive the mayor of Monrovia, Jefferson T. Koijee, at Southern News Group to discuss how to promote the sister relationship between Houston and Monrovia.

Monrovia is the capital city of the west African country of Liberia. Founded in 1922, it is located on the Atlantic coast and is the country’s most populous city. With a population of more than one million, Monrovia is also the country’s economic, financial and culture center .

Under the leadership of Mr. Val Thompson, the two cities will become sister cities to promote cultural and economic ties.

Over the last several years, we have sponsored many events at the International Trade Center, especially with African countries  We also have hosted two events with Rice University and the Texas African Summit.

This is time that we all need to work together and look to solve global issues. When the pandemic damaged the globe, a lot of poor nations did not have much ability to survive  But this is a global issue.

We hope this sister city alliance will really help the African countries in many ways.

Mayor Koijee is such a young and vigorous young politician for Afirica. We now can see a bright future for his country too.
