Speaking to the media shortly after inaugurating the embassy, Minister Tangara thanked the Kingdom of Morocco for the great initiative in opening an embassy in The Gambia.
He stated that this was the second inauguration he has carried out, noting the first being in Morocco.
The Gambia’s Foreign Affairs minister also commended the Kingdom of Morocco for its support to The Gambia.
“They played a key role in supporting us for a successful OIC Summit and I also thank them for their tremendous support before, during and I am sure after the summit,” he said.
He pointed out that the presence of the Kingdom of Morocco Embassy in The Gambia will strengthen the excellent bilateral relations between the two countries.
He added that it is also an opportunity for them to promote the image of Morocco in The Gambia for Gambians to better know Morocco.
According to him, many Gambians have ties with Morocco through the Tijania brotherhood, adding that there are a lot of Gambians who go to Morocco for pilgrimage as well as for studies.
Ahmed Belhadj, Charge d’ Affairs for the Embassy of The Kingdom of Morocco in The Gambia, said the relationship between Morocco and The Gambia is exceptional and rich story of friendship and fraternity, strong and old. “This relationship’s strength has never been altered by time! On the contrary, it is clear that time only brings it more vigour and depth at all levels,” he added.
According to him, “Indeed, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, May God help him, since 2006, the date of his first official visit en Gambie, has fully understood the eminently positive dynamic that this country has experienced in recent years.”
He stated that the strong and determined desire to move forward, driven by His Excellency President Adama Barrow, and shared by his brother, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, resulted in an exemplary and solid partnership, based on a strengthened friendship, fraternal respect, and mutual assistance.
“Today we can say that the opening of the new Embassy confirms the excellent relations between the two brotherly countries as well as Morocco’s commitment to raising these relations to the level they deserve,” he concluded.
