Dallas, Texas, USA: October 23rd. It is argued that the establishment of the consular service in Texas is a necessary part of the Sierra Leone policy of trade expansion that President Ernest Bai Koroma focused on as part of his economic development plans. The Sierra Leone @ 50 Organizing Committee of Dallas-Fort worth (DFW) hosted the first Meet-and-greet session between the newly appointed Honorary Consul General, Mr. Reginald Spiller at the United Banquet Hall in Dallas, on October 21st.

The event marked another important milestone for the committee, whose initial goal was to bring together all the different groups of Sierra Leoneans in the DFW for the golden jubilee anniversary of Sierra Leone’s independence.
Honorary Consul General, Mr. Reginald Spiller would coordinate his activities with the Sierra Leonean Ambassador to the United States but he reports directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sierra Leone. He has diplomatic functions in America representing Sierra Leone, and of course, Mr. Spiller is already recognized by the State Department in the Diplomatic corp.
