We rely on Egypt's counsel as OIC chair: Gambian FM
CAIRO, May 31 (MENA) – Gambian Foreign Minister Mamadou Tangara said Saturday his country relies on Egypt and its counsel during Gambia's chairmanship of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
This came in response to a question by the Middle East News Agency during his joint press conference with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty.
Tangara said that the talks touched on the possibility of elevating relations to a higher level, noting that he will extend an invitation to Abdelatty to visit Gambia, accompanied by a delegation of businessmen.
He explained that Gambia serves as a gateway to West Africa, and Abdelatty's visit will strengthen cooperation with countries in the Global South.
