Senegalese President Macky Sall congratulated President-elect Adama Barrow on his re-election and vowed to continue working with him to strengthen Senegal-Gambia ties.
“I warmly congratulate President [elect] Barrow on his brilliant re-election and wish him every success in his new term. Senegal and Gambia share a common history and destiny. I will continue to work with President Barrow to strengthen those bonds,” President Sall posted on Facebook on Wednesday.
Adama Barrow was re-elected in the December 4 presidential election with 53% of the vote, despite numerous unfulfilled promises in his term.
The relationship between The Gambia and Senegal was not very cordial under former President Jammeh and Sall, but it has improved significantly under the two presidents.
