Gambia establishes parliamentary association with Ivory Coast, Turkey

The Gambia’s National Assembly Members Tuesday adopted motions establishing ‘Parliamentary Friendship Association’ with Ivory Coast and Turkey to further strengthen bilateral relations with these countries.

Turbo-Gambian Parliamentary Friendship Association and Ivory Coast-Gambia Parliamentary Association have been established to strengthen parliamentary friendship and cooperation among these countries.  

Majority leader Fabakary Tombong Jatta said it’s a well known fact that The Gambia and Turkey have for long time enjoyed excellent relations and cooperation, especially in military cooperation. 

It is in recognition of this and many other fruitful ties in recent history that both countries decided to establish the friendship association.

Hon. Ablie Suku Singhateh, National Assembly member for Lower Badibu, said The Gambia and Ivory Coast are almost of the same people and share a lot in common. 

“It is therefore my fervent belief that the establishment of this association between our two Assemblies shall further strengthen our ties and promote unity among the citizens of our two countries and as well promote sub-regional integration,” the Lower Badibu NAM remarked.
