Dakar [Senegal], June 2 (ANI): Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu reviewed the progress in the relationship between India and Senegal during a meeting with the President of Senegal, Macky Sall at the Presidential Palace in Dakar on Wednesday (local time).
 
Naidu met the President of Senegal at the Presidential Palace in Dakar yesterday which was followed by delegation-level talks in Dakar.
 
Both the leaders agreed to further strengthen cooperation in various fields including agriculture, health, defence, railways, energy and culture.
 
Naidu will be in Senegal from June 1 to June 3. He will be holding delegation-level talks with the President of Senegal Macky Sall, the President of the National Assembly Moustapha Niasse and other dignitaries, according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
 
'Our relationship with Senegal is also characterised by shared understanding on many issues, we had democracy and open society and those values are binding us. And this year Senegal is chair of the African Union and this visit assumes greater importance,' Dammu Ravi, Secretary (ER) of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
 
Ravi further said that the main interest in Senegal in terms of trade is that the country holds huge natural resources, particularly phosphate, which is of great interest to secure a fertiliser supply from that side.
 
Secretary (ER) further said that the Vice President will also deliver a public talk at Universite Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD), the biggest university in Africa. After Senegal, Vice President will fly to Qatar, the last destination of his African countries’ visit.
 
Africa has a huge potential of joining collaboration in the exploration of Oil and Gas, especially in Western Africa, the MEA said. (ANI)
