Given these close connections, it is imperative for the governments of The Gambia and Senegal to collaborate closely to address the challenges facing their respective populations. By focusing on their shared similarities and working together on common goals, both countries can further the interests and development of their people.
During President Faye’s visit, discussions are expected to cover various important topics, including security cooperation and trade relations.
