My apologies for cluttering your mailbox, but I just could not resist 
sending this one. I must add, are newly appointed SOS go through an 
officially sanctioned 'de-braining" that help seemingly brainy fellows 
like Koto Johnson to perform in mindless games? Any one out there, that 
is,  former Secretaries of State under Dr. Jammeh with first-hand 
experience?

Gambia to Provide Medical Assistance to Venezuela
Monday 16th April 2007

By Baboucarr Senghore Abba A.S. Gibba

The government of The Gambia, under the framework agreement signed with 
the republic of Venezuela, will provide medical assistance in the area 
of herbal medicine to Venezuela.

According to the Secretary of State for Higher Education Crispin Grey 
Johnson, who tabled the motion on the Framework Agreement of Cooperation 
at the National Assembly last Thursday, The Gambia is prepared to offer 
the Venezuelan republic 1000 dozens of herbal medicine every two months 
for the treatment of asthma. He noted that this is a further testimony 
of the goodwill of both the people of The Gambia and the Bolivian 
republic of Venezuela to develop and grow together. He added that the 
initiative is aimed at further strengthening the relations in the area 
of health, agriculture, education, petroleum and infrastructure as 
indicated in the framework agreement itself.

Secy Grey Johnson stated that President Hugo Chavez's acceptance of The 
Gambia's invitation to attend and address the African Union Summit of 
heads of states and governments held in Banjul last year had clearly 
demonstrated that the Bolivian republic of Venezuela has had keen 
interest in taking the level of friendship and cooperation between the 
Gambia and Venezuela to a higher height.

" Since then, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has undertaken 
several trips to Venezuela to prepare the ground for meaningful 
achievements to be realised under the auspices of the framework 
agreement,"  he said, adding that this has brought about a new bond in 
the relationship between the two countries which has since progressed 
from strength to strength.

He assured National Assembly Members that the framework agreement is 
balanced and augurs very well for the spirit of South-South 
co-operation, from which both countries stand to benefit immensely.
