Opening the conference on Monday, President Adama Barrow welcomed delegates and called for stronger partnerships to support Africa’s development, create opportunities for young people, and make financing more accessible for countries that need it most.
Hosting a meeting of this level is a significant moment for The Gambia. It reflects growing confidence in the country’s stability and its role in regional and international affairs.
President Barrow used the occasion to highlight issues that matter to many African countries, including sustainable debt, job creation, and fair access to development financing. These are challenges that directly affect the lives of ordinary Gambians and millions of Africans.
For The Gambia, this is more than just hosting an international conference. It is another opportunity to strengthen the country’s reputation, build partnerships, and ensure that its voice is heard where important economic decisions are made.
