Written Question
Gambia: Politics and Government
Tuesday 21st February 2017

Asked by: Lord Cryer (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the political and security situation in the Gambia.

Answered by Boris Johnson

Last week I made the first visit by a British Foreign Secretary to The Gambia. I congratulated President Barrow on winning free and fair elections and on the peaceful transition. After 22 years of brutal, oppressive rule, The Gambia faces many serious economic and institutional problems. The UK is ready to help the political transition, championing The Gambia as a new international partner and friend in West Africa.
