The Liberian people know that Ambassador Charles Snetter is a strong, long and unflinching ally to Liberia’s President Joseph Boakai

But there are 6 untold facts about Snetter.

1. Charles is the only Ambassador- at Large that President Boakai is fully confident to undertake strategic assignments, particularly special envoys on delicate missions.
2. ⁠He earns the President’s trust in international tasks that bring in beneficial results
3. ⁠Charles is a goal-getter! He has not performed below Boakai’s expectations almost a year now in power
4. ⁠Charles’s father was Liberia’s Ambassador to Sierra Leone, The Caribbean and Asian countries. He grew up in diplomatic circles

Charles Snetter ushered me into President Boakai’s living room for an exclusive interview on August 17, 2024, that was published in the News Magazine October 2024 edition.

He revealed to me that President Boakai was happy with the quality and substance of that edition, stating further that “the magazine has earned a good reputation in Liberia”.
