A Senegalese official said his country can learn a lot from Turkey’s experience, as he highlighted Ankara’s increasing interest in the African continent. Aymerou Gningue, the chairperson of the Senegalese Parliament’s Turkey Friendship Committee, who is visiting Turkey at the invitation of Justice and Development Party (AK Party) Afyon Deputy Ibrahim Yurdunuseven, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that he will discuss ongoing developments and Turkey-Senegal relations with his Turkish counterparts.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that the volume of trade exchange with Senegal, and the number of Turkish companies in it, is rapidly increasing.
To reach the target set by the president, Gözbaşı said they were consistently holding negotiations, meetings and business forums. There has been no major disruption in activities despite the pandemic, she noted, stressing that they had brought together nearly 2,300 company representatives with over 1,000 African entrepreneurs in a virtual environment.
