Gambia-Senegal On Crucial Discussion
By Bubacarr K. Sowe
Delegates from Senegal yesterday joined their Gambian counterparts at a technical committee of experts meeting marking the beginning of the session of the Senegalo-Gambian Joint Ministerial Commission at the Kairaba Beach Hotel.
The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Crispin Grey-Johnson, said since the two sides met in 2004 at the consultative meeting, not much has been done by way of follow-up on courses of action that were agreed upon.
“Much work has to be done in the areas of trade, transport, transit and customs. There are also several matters that need much smothering,” Mr. Grey-Johnson said.
He also said there are important trans-boundary questions which they need to work on collectively including questions pertaining to environmental management, forestry wetlands and fisheries management.
“We must examine all the pending issues in these areas with a view to transforming them from the disenabling factors in the relationship-which they currently are,” he said.
Mr. Grey-Johnson urged the technical experts to address issues with frankness, courage and sincerity.
