DP World Group Chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem reiterated the company's commitment to supporting the economic growth of Senegal and developing Dakar into a major logistics hub and gateway for West Africa during his meeting with Senegalese President Macky Sall.
DP World's current and future projects in Senegal as well as ways of further strengthening trade relations and exploring areas of future cooperation were discussed at the meeting in Dakar, which was also attended by Senegalese Prime Minister Mohammed Dionne and UAE Ambassador to Senegal Mohammed Al Rashidi.
Bin Sulayem also expressed the company's readiness to be part of the massive change and growth the continent is witnessing. He stressed that as a global trade enabler, DP World has the extensive expertise and know-how that can help African countries realise their trade and infrastructure goals, while assisting Senegal in particular to address national ports and logistics infrastructure challenges.
The visit was part of Bin Sulayem's annual Africa tour calling at existing DP World operations while meeting other heads of state and business leaders to explore trade links and solutions connecting Africa to the world.
During his meeting with the President, Bin Sulayem shed light on DP World's plans and updated him on current projects in Dakar including the development of Port Du Futur and the free zone located in the vicinity of the new airport. - business@khaleejtimes.com
