Visiting Indian External Affairs minister harps on Gambia-India relations

Nov 4, 2021, 12:19 PM

...

The Point: The relations between India and The Gambia are moving from strength to strength, what can the two countries do to strengthen these bilateral ties to a special level?

...

In terms of the way forward, through our deliberations, we will not only consolidate the existing collaboration but look for new avenues. I see potential in all the areas of our collaboration including political, defence and security, trade and economy, development partnership and people to people relations. I notice multiple sectors that hold potential like agricultural equipment and implements, electrical and mechanical machinery, food processing, energy, solar, oil and gas, eGovernance, Fintech, smart transport and telecom etc.

...

The Point: Finally, India and The Gambia having both been members of the Commonwealth, are there plans for India to finally open a High Commission (embassy) in The Gambia?

Muraleedharan: Our Embassy in Dakar and The Gambian High Commission in New Delhi are closely working to ensure all round development of bilateral relations. That said, we would certainly like to open a resident Indian Mission in Banjul in due course.
