On January 30, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Gambians Abroad of the Republic of Gambia Mamadou Tangara, who is currently in Moscow on a working visit.

During their talks, the ministers reaffirmed Moscow and Banjul’s commitment to foster the long-term sustainable development of the traditionally friendly Russia-Gambia relations, including a more profound political dialogue, as well as expanded trade, economic, cultural, humanitarian and other forms of cooperation.

In this context, they discussed additional opportunities for expanding business contacts and implementing new joint projects in the fields of construction, infrastructure modernisation, transportation and agriculture.

Sergey Lavrov and Mamadou Tangara had a detailed exchange of opinions regarding current international and African issues. They focused on the reform of the UN Security Council and options for resolving regional conflicts and combating terrorism, including in the Sahara-Sahel region and West Africa. At the same time, they prioritised political and diplomatic methods for resolving crisis situations on the African continent, with the leading role of African nations and support from the international community. They noted the similar principled approaches of Moscow and Banjul towards the Middle East peace settlement and discussed preparations for the 15th summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), to be held in the capital of Gambia in May 2024. The ministers agreed to actively coordinate their actions at the UN and other international platforms.

Considerable attention was devoted to advancing the entire range of mutually beneficial Russia-Africa ties in the context of implementing decisions adopted following the Second Russia-Africa Summit held in St Petersburg in July 2023.

The foreign ministers signed the Memorandum on Consultations between the Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Gambians Abroad of the Republic of Gambia.
