Political relations
On 4 May 2017, the Government of the Republic of Serbia established May 25 as the Day of Friendship with the Peoples of Africa.
Bilateral relations with Liberia are traditionally good and there are mutual initiatives to improve bilateral relations.
Diplomatic relations between the SFRY and Liberia were established in 1959, and in 2019 we marked 60 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations. Liberia is among the first countries in sub-Saharan Africa with which Yugoslavia has established diplomatic relations.
