The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sybiha, announced that Gambia has appointed a non-resident ambassador to Ukraine, a diplomat accredited in Turkey, not in Russia. This is reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Ukraine.
I am grateful to Gambia for supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. It's about common principles. I appreciate the decision to appoint the Gambian ambassador to Turkey, instead of its ambassador to Russia, as non-resident ambassador to Ukraine. This is a sign of respect
In addition, the head of the Ukrainian foreign policy department held meetings with the ministers of foreign affairs of a number of African countries, reported on Ukraine's progress towards a just peace and stressed the importance of African states adhering to a firm position on this issue. Sybiha also announced Ukraine's plans to expand cooperation with the African Union.
"Russia's war against Ukraine has had serious consequences for Africa, such as food insecurity and regional instability. That is why achieving a just peace for Ukraine is also beneficial to our African partners. Ukraine is ready to strengthen cooperation with Benin and other African countries to increase food security and promote regional stability," Sybiha added.
