Togo and the United Arab Emirates are strengthening their diplomatic cooperation with a new agreement designed to ease the mobility of their representatives.
On the sidelines of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Togo's Foreign Minister Robert Dussey signed a reciprocal visa waiver agreement with his Emirati counterparts covering holders of diplomatic passports.
In practice, the deal eliminates the visa requirement for senior officials and diplomatic representatives from both countries during official travel, removing an administrative hurdle that could otherwise slow down bilateral consultations or urgent missions.
The agreement is meant to achieve two things: deepen institutional dialogue between the two executives, and speed up negotiations on strategic files such as investment, logistics and infrastructure, sectors already central to the Lomé-Abu Dhabi relationship.
This agreement is only the latest step in a relationship that has expanded significantly over the past several years. The UAE has long been engaged in Togo's power sector, notably co-financing the Blitta solar plant through the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development alongside the West African Development Bank (BOAD).
