Strengthening Ties, Exploring Opportunities..

On February 19, 2025, the High Commissioner of The Gambia, H.E. Mr. Mohamadou Musa Njie welcomed the High Commissioner-Designate of Tanzania, H.E. Mr. Selestine Gervas Kakele, on a courtesy visit.

Their discussions focused on key areas of mutual interest, including the health, tourism, and the blue economy, sectors with significant potential for collaboration and shared growth.

As The Gambia and Tanzania continue to strengthen diplomatic and economic relations, engagements like these pave the way for deeper partnerships that benefit both nations.

Ambassador Mohamadou Musa-Njie, the High Commissioner of The Gambia to Nigeria, emphasises the need for Africa, particularly the ECOWAS sub-region, to promote greater inclusivity for all. Musa-Njie made these remarks during the unveiling of the Women's Chamber of Commerce and Credit Cooperative Union (WCCI-CCU), themed “She Financial Inclusion”, in Abuja.
He described WCCI-CCU as a commendable initiative and congratulated the cooperative credit union for uniting around a common purpose that would encourage collective growth.
“We all know that if you empower women, you empower the nation; this cooperative union offers them greater opportunities to access credit facilities and similarly brings them together with a unified voice.
“It is not merely about stating this in policy documents; we must intentionally include women in all our development agendas. Once they are included, we will be able to progress as a nation, and as I mentioned, women are often better managers of resources.
“I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate The Gambia on its Independence Day celebration; The Gambia gained independence 60 years ago, and one of the pillars of its economic empowerment is inclusion,” he remarked.
He added that the President of The Gambia, Adama Barrow, unwaveringly supports inclusivity and ensures that women's voices are heard; thus, the WCCI-CCU will also be launched in The Gambia.
In a welcoming address, Ambassador Zainab Mohammed, Chief Executive Officer of the Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry (WCCI), underscored the resilience of women's financial management, particularly regarding savings.
