Turkey has given training to Gambian troops and provided military equipment and logistic support to tiny West African nation, a top Turkish military official said.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency in the Gambian capital Banjul, Col. Nihat Akturk, who is also a Turkish military adviser to the Gambian president, said both countries have been experiencing “the highest level of bilateral relations”.
Turkey and the Gambia have a longstanding cooperation, particularly in military and security sectors since the establishment of the Turkish Gendarmerie Training Team for the Gambian military in February 1991.
