The meeting focused on strengthening cooperation in key sectors, including the economy, trade, renewable energy, sustainability, and infrastructure.
Both leaders also exchanged views on regional and international issues and reaffirmed their commitment to deepening long-standing relations between the UAE and Senegal, with an emphasis on sustainable growth and expanded partnerships.
