The country's ambassador to Senegal, Sultan Ali Al-Harbi, said: “The UAE and Senegal are linked by distinguished bilateral relations based on the principle of friendship, solidarity and common interest,” stressing that the plane sent by the UAE reflects the level of strong relations between the two countries and its keenness to support impoverished families and vulnerable groups in Senegal during the holy month.
He added that there is communication and coordination between the UAE and Senegal at all levels, due to the great agreement between the two countries in values and positions, and that the arrival of the plane today is further evidence of the fruitful cooperation and the escalating partnership between the two countries.

This plane comes within the tireless work of the state and its wise leadership, which is based on solidarity, especially during this holy month.
