DescriptionSpeaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Nita Lowey, and President Sirleaf (4640652412).jpg
Today, Speaker Pelosi and Congresswoman Nita Lowey and Senator Patrick Leahy, House and Senate Chairs of the Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations, met with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia. President Sirleaf is the first woman elected to lead an African nation, and as Speaker Pelosi said, "an inspiration to women everywhere, men too—a woman revered by her people and determined to make progress." Under President Sirleaf's leadership during a difficult post-war peace and reconciliation process, Liberia’s security situation is stable, the economy and the humanitarian conditions on the ground have significantly improved, and Liberia is scheduled to hold a second free and fair election in 2011.
