Turkey’s new ambassador to The Gambia Tolga Bermek on Tuesday met with President Adama Barrow at State House, marking the start of his tenure as Turkey’s new top diplomat.
Mr Bermek replaced Ismail Sefa Yuceer who left the role last month.
The diplomat spoke to journalists at State House after meeting President Barrow on the visit to the country of Turkey president Reccep Tayyib Erdogan.
According to State House, the ambassador said the Turkey President’s visit to The Gambia is a good start for him as an ambassador, adding that the visit will be short but efficient, as the President will be accompanied by a huge business delegation.
“We have a good opportunity on the occasion of the visit of our President. It will be the first time of such a visit to The Gambia at the presidential level. I think it will open up new horizons to the relations of both countries,” he said, according to a statement by State House.
