On Thursday, the Libyan Foreign Minister of the Parliament-designate government, Abdel-Hadi Al-Hwaij, met with Gambian Foreign Minister Mamadou Tangara to discuss enhancing diplomatic ties and advancing shared goals.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of the 16th MEDays Forum in Tangier, Morocco, an event that gathers leaders and policymakers to address global challenges.
During the talks, the two ministers explored opportunities for collaboration across various sectors to serve the mutual interests of both nations.
They also highlighted The Gambia’s role as the current chair of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), emphasizing its efforts in supporting Arab and Islamic causes. The discussions touched on several pressing regional and international issues, reinforcing the importance of collective efforts to address global challenges.
The meeting underscores Libya’s commitment to strengthening its diplomatic network across Africa and fostering deeper connections within Islamic organizations. Libya has been actively working to rebuild its international partnerships and reaffirm its role as a key player in regional diplomacy.
The Gambia, under its OIC leadership, has demonstrated growing influence in addressing political and humanitarian issues, making it a vital partner for Libya in advancing mutual goals. Strengthening this relationship aligns with Libya’s broader strategy to engage African and Islamic nations in collaborative efforts that promote unity and shared prosperity.
The MEDays Forum provided an ideal platform for Libya and The Gambia to deepen their cooperation and align their visions for addressing common challenges.
As Libya continues its efforts to stabilize and reestablish its international role, partnerships like this will play a crucial part in fostering regional solidarity and global collaboration.
