Turkey and The Gambia have a strong friendship. The two countries work together in many ways. This helps both nations.

Turkey's TIKA agency gave The Gambia $347,400 for 16 projects in 2024. The money went to things like:

[*]Equipment for Gambia's TV and radio station
[*]Fixing up the Banjul airport
[*]Lowering deaths of moms and babies
[*]A waste project in Brikama
[*]Supporting women's gardens and markets
[*]Training for judges
[*]The Tanka Tanka Hospital
[/LIST]

Turkey's police and soldiers also help The Gambia. They train security officers and provide equipment like drones and riot gear. Gambians can study at Turkey's police and army schools.

Turkey has a school in The Gambia called Maarif. It opened in 2017. Over 300 students go there, and some Maarif graduates now study in Turkey.

A Turkish cultural center called Yunus Emre will open in The Gambia in 2025. It will teach Turkish at the university.

Turkey has given many scholarships to Gambians, over 300 in the past 20 years. Gambians can apply for more in January and February.

Islamic groups from Turkey also help The Gambia. They give cattle for holidays, food, and wells.

Business between Turkey and The Gambia is growing. From January to November 2024, Turkey sold The Gambia $74 million in goods. The Gambia sold Turkey $7 million. That's more than in 2023.

The Turkish Ambassador shared all these details. They show the strong ties between the two countries. The relationship benefits both Turkey and The Gambia.
