He also shared the work plan for the proposed association already presented to other ambassadors and formally handed a copy to the Ministry. Minister Njie warmly welcomed the initiative, stressing the importance of working together as a diplomatic community to share experiences and expertise.

Ambassador Ndure emphasized that proper training before deployment is essential for all foreign service officers, as it would significantly enhance The Gambiaโs effectiveness in international representation. Minister Njie expressed his delight at the proposal and reaffirmed his commitment to working with the association to advance the professional development of The Gambiaโs diplomaticย corps.
