Albayrak Group hosts Gambian delegation to discuss port agreement, investment

In a significant diplomatic and economic development, the Albayrak Group recently hosted a high-level delegation from the Republic of The Gambia at its headquarters. The purpose of the visit was to discuss technical details concerning the concession agreement and investment planning for Banjul Port, led by His Excellency Mr. Mod Ceesay, the General Secretary to the President.

The delegation was comprehensive, with members from various Gambian government bodies and agencies, reflecting the importance of the discussions. The delegation included the Chairman of the Public Procurement Authority, along with the President of the Port Authority. Their visit was part of a broader effort to strengthen the bilateral relations between The Gambia and Türkiye, specifically in the context of a significant port development project.

During their stay, the Gambian delegation had the opportunity to visit various Albayrak Group investments across Türkiye, offering them firsthand insights into the capabilities and expertise of the company. The delegation toured several notable Albayrak Group projects, including Konya Tümosan, Katre Island, and Trabzon Port. These site visits were particularly insightful as they allowed the Gambian officials to witness the Group's technical and financial capabilities.

Banjul Port and Sanyang Port

The central focus of the discussions revolved around Banjul Port's operations and Sanyang Port's construction. Albayrak Group, as a renowned player in the infrastructure and port management sector, showcased its experience and capabilities in these areas, further instilling confidence in the Gambian delegation regarding the substantial investment.

The Banjul Port development project, one of the largest in West Africa, holds tremendous potential for both economic growth and strengthening the trade and logistical capacities of The Gambia. The delegation's visit aimed to ensure that all technical aspects and investment planning are aligned with the growth objectives and aspirations of The Gambia.

As a follow-up to this important visit, the Gambian delegation is set to visit Albayrak Group's Alport Conakry facilities in the Republic of Guinea on Tuesday, further deepening their understanding of the Group's operations in the region.

The Gambian delegation is scheduled to conclude their visit and return to their home country on Monday, with renewed confidence in the partnership between The Gambia and the Albayrak Group.
