>>  “My government has a great deal of respect for many of the achievements
>> of President Jammeh and his government, often in the face of very serious
>> and challenging obstacles,” says the British high commissioner to The
>> Gambia.
>>
>>  His Excellency David Morley, who also underscored that relations
>> between The Gambia and its former colonial master, the United Kingdom “seem
>> pretty good”, was speaking exclusively to the Daily Observer Thursday
>> morning during an interview at the British High Commission in Fajara.
>> Further commenting on the ties that bind the two countries, High
>> Commissioner Morley said:
>>
>>  “My colleagues in London get on well with the Gambia high commissioner
>> in London who does a good job for your country. As I always say, the
>> 40-50,000 British tourists who come here every year can’t all be wrong.
>> They would quickly and easily go elsewhere if they didn’t feel safe and
>> comfortable here. And many Gambians live, study and work in the UK.Our two
>> communities have many ties.”
>>
>>  The British non-governmental organisations and charities, both in
>> country and offshore, according to the high commissioner, continue to work
>> hard supporting Gambian communities.
>>
>>  He continued: “The partnerships between the parties are a pleasure to
>> see, and many have been going for a long time.Again, they would not be able
>> to be so effective without an underlying stable bilateral relationship.
>> Ministers and officials here, with whom I interact on a regular basis, do
>> their very best to help me deliver my objectives.
>>
>>
>>  They are always extremely cooperative and helpful.And we will always do
>> whatever we can to help The Gambia achieve its own objectives – for example
>> we offered strong support to Mrs. Bensouda’s ICC candidature and were
>> delighted when she bagged the job.But I will never become complacent.There
>> are always bumps in the road in any bilateral relationship, but here I have
>> found that when these occur they are resolved quickly, discretely and
>> effectively.”
>>
>>  Commenting on his country’s support to the Gambia’s development
>> blueprint, the Vision 2020, High Commissioner Morleysaid that the UK wants
>> to see a successful and secure Gambia. “Without a clear strategy,” he said,
>> “no enterprise can succeed,” saying “this country’s aspirations, and plans,
>> as expressed in Vision 2020, seem to us to be entirely appropriate”.
>>
>>  “A great deal of support, via the UN and EU programmes many millions of
>> dollars is poured into The Gambia every year, focused on the relevant
>> themes of Vision 2020.But only the Gambian people themselves can deliver
>> the progress,” he asserted.
>>
>>  The UK chief diplomat to The Gambia posited that one specific example
>> of how they support the Vision could be the resources deployed by the UK
>> government to offer consular support to all the thousands of UK,
>> unrepresented EU and unrepresented Commonwealth nationals, who visit the
>> country every year.Without these tourists, he said, The Gambia would
>> struggle economically.
>>
>>  He added: “I am realistic in appreciating that the development and
>> future direction of this country does not necessarily lie with its old
>> friends.Your government’s economic strategies clearly identify emerging
>> markets as the best source of potential new investment.
>>
>>  Regional matters dominate the local agenda – for example the Senegambia
>> Bridge and the wider relationship with Senegal especially on the Casamance,
>> security issues Mali and Guinea Bissau, relations with Ecowas and the AU,
>> establishment of The Gambia as an important hub for trading, inward
>> investment and other purposes, and many other things.Looking beyond the
>> region, The Gambia’s relationship with Taiwan will always be crucial.”
>>
>>  For more on this exclusive interview with the British high commissioner
>> to The Gambia, please read the full text in our next week’s Friday edition
>> of the Bantaba where this top diplomat touched on many vital areas,
>> especially the ties between the two countries, as well as other emerging
>> developments.
