Norway to establish embassy in Senegal
Norway will open an embassy in Dakar in the autumn of 2024. The mission will also be responsible for several other countries in West Africa.
This is the first time Norway has established an embassy in Senegal. In addition to Senegal the new Embassy will be responsible for Norway’s diplomatic relations with Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Chad, where Norway does not have any foreign service missions.
‘I am pleased we will now have dedicated diplomats in Senegal. They will work to strengthen our partnership with Senegal and promote stability and development in the region,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.
‘Norway has a long history of supporting economic development in African countries, as well as promoting conflict resolution, democracy and human rights. Norway is also a steadfast supporter of the United Nations and the African Union. Norway and Senegal are in a good position to increase our cooperation, and the Embassy in Dakar will enable Norway to be an even better partner,’ said Mr Eide.
