The Hon. Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Gambians Abroad, H.E. Sering Modou Njie, delivered The Gambia’s national statement at the Second World Summit for Social Development held in Doha, Qatar, from 4th to 6th November 2025.

Speaking on behalf of His Excellency President Adama Barrow and the people of The Gambia, Minister Njie expressed heartfelt appreciation to His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar, and to the Government and people of Qatar for their warm hospitality and excellent arrangements.

In his statement, the Hon. Minister highlighted the urgent need for renewed multilateral cooperation amid global uncertainties marked by conflicts, climate crises, and widening inequalities. He emphasized that strengthening global solidarity and shared responsibility is essential to address poverty, unemployment, and social exclusion.

“We must forge a new global consensus that unites us behind inclusive and sustainable development one rooted in equity, accountability, and shared prosperity,” Minister Njie stated.

The Minister reaffirmed The Gambia’s dedication to social development, democratic governance, and inclusive economic growth, with a focus on empowering women and youth, eradicating poverty, and promoting enduring peace.

He also welcomed the Doha Political Declaration and the Sevilla Commitment on Financing for Development, calling for reforms to the global financial architecture, increased climate financing, and meaningful debt relief to help Least Developed Countries (LDCs) achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
