Aissata Tall Sall sets out her roadmap

The new head of Senegalese diplomacy yesterday declined her roadmap on the occasion of the handover ceremony with her predecessor Amadou Ba. Me Aissata Tall Sall, since it is her that it is, hailed the success of Senegalese diplomacy at the international level before announcing the main axes of the policy that she intends to implement in order to better to establish its radiance. She lifted a corner of the veil on solutions to be implemented to fight against illegal emigration and facilitate the integration of Senegalese in the diaspora.

Adopt the diplomatic map to geopolitical realities and our priorities

It is a question, she declares at the outset, of “endowing our diplomatic action with a strategy of influence in Africa in order to continue to record further successes.” To refocus our priorities on improving the effectiveness of our policy by targeting specific objectives such as strengthening our close relations with our neighbors, through the importance that we will give to economic integration institutions (OMVS, OMVG, UEMOA, Union African, etc.). To define and adopt a coherent and effective policy for the placement of our executives within intergovernmental organizations ”.

For the new Minister of Foreign Affairs and Senegalese abroad, it is also necessary to “decide on a better diplomatic map to adapt it to geopolitical realities and to our priorities in terms of economic and social development.” And Work for a better supervision of the contribution of our large diaspora to the social development of our country ”.

Give hope to young people that a better life is possible in their country

Aïssata Tall Sall, in her speech read to administrative authorities, diplomats and ministry staff, among others, does not conceal the upsurge in illegal emigration to Senegal in recent days. It is necessary, she recommends, to move “towards an innovative and bold policy of fight against clandestine emigration. We must move towards the effective establishment of a bold policy of orienting the financial assets of migrants towards investment in productive sectors of the national economy, ”considers the new head of Senegalese diplomacy.

“To our children who face the sea and often death, we must give hope that a better life is possible here in our country. We must especially deconstruct in their minds the (…) success that would only be possible elsewhere ”.

To the President of the Republic, Aissata Tall Sall reassures: “We will keep this beautiful house with rigor, foresight and competence to better deserve his trust. This rigor, this foresight and this competence is first and foremost that of our diplomats who, as seasoned and renowned professionals, ensure the international influence of our country far from the world and carry its banner very high ”.

“Our ambassadors, past and present, have succeeded, through their continued action, in making Senegal a country of great diplomacy, a country that counts in the international sphere, whose voice, action and support are sought and actively sought. Our diplomacy has undoubtedly achieved results that we are envious of and this, since the accession of our country to international sovereignty ”, she wishes to emphasize.

With the arrival of President Macky Sall in 2012, “this success has been consolidated and even reinforced,” she admits. “In a few years, Senegal, under the impetus and leadership of President Macky Sall, has been able to confirm every day its status as a respected state, consulted and solicited on all the major issues that mobilize the international community”, concludes l ‘lawyer.
