Monrovia — The Forestry Development Authority says the 150 million agreement signed between the governments of Liberia and Norway is not meant to infringe on the interest of the Liberian people, rather to improve forest governance, strengthen and support effort in reducing greenhouse emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in Liberia.

"We will never engage in any act that will infringe on the interest of our partners and our people. We will be inviting all of our partners to a roundtable conference to sort any area where we have some doubt or may have misunderstood the intent and purpose of this agreement," FDA Managing Director Harrison Karnwea said.
