Notes The new United Nations Envoy to Liberia, Ms. Ellen Margrethe Loj, has pledged the continuing commitment of the UN to Liberia, to help the country get back on the path of freedom and prosperity.
Ellen Loj was speaking in the central Liberian town of Gbarnga, Bong County, when she awarded UN peacekeeping medals to UNMIL Bangladeshi soldiers for their contribution to peace in Liberia.

"The United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), and indeed the United Nations family, will continue to work hard and effectively in Liberia to help the government consolidate the hard-won gains we've all made," the new UN envoy declared in her first public engagement since assuming office on 17 January 2008.
Madam Loj, a veteran diplomat and development expert, identified development as a crucial element in efforts to sustainable peace in Liberia, pointing out that "there is a lot of peace-building work to be done to ensure that Liberia does not slide back into conflict and chaos."
