Gambia's ambassador FJC asked business people at the 2025 North-West International Forum in Cape Town to bring their money to her country. She talked about how The Gambia offers plenty of chances for success across many business areas. During her speech at the red carpet event, she explained how the forum connects local markets with global partners. This meeting helped everyone talk about changes happening around the world.
FJC told the crowd that President Barrow created strong trade rules that help people work together. These rules make it easier to produce and sell important items like rice, cement, fruits, and vegetables. She pointed out that foreign investors can find many untapped opportunities waiting for them. The government wants more business partnerships that benefit everyone involved.
The ambassador explained how the Gambia Investment Promotion Agency makes starting a business quick and simple. They handle paperwork fast and help new companies set up shop without delays. FJC also mentioned that her country knows how to handle re-export trade very well. Companies based there can easily sell to nearby nations such as Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Mauritania, and others.
Ambassador Jahumpa said she hopes to see The Gambia join the next forum meeting. She shared her excitement about a special South African project called Bojanala Rural Development Finance. This group was started by traditional leaders who wanted to manage growth and investment in their communities. FJC found their approach very impressive and felt inspired by what they accomplished through local leadership.
