Senegal’s Defence Minister, Birame Diop, has praised the ECOWAS Stabilisation Support Mission in Guinea-Bissau (ESSMGB) for its role in maintaining peace.
A statement by Yahaya Kabara, ESSMGB public information officer, on Monday said Mr Diop gave the commendation during a visit to the mission’s headquarters in Bissau.
He was joined by Guinea-Bissau’s Defence Minister, Dionysio Cabi, and Senegal’s Ambassador, Moussa Ndoye.
