The new Senegalese power, embodied by the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, and his Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko, has made a series of acts and announcements which leave observers unmoved, both on national governance and the country’s foreign policy. Without hatred or revenge, the power of Dakar unfolds its roadmap generally presented in the swearing-in speech that the president delivered on April 2, 2024.
“On the African level, the scale of the security perils and the numerous challenges that we face require us to show greater solidarity. I clearly hear the voice of the uninhibited elites who say loud and clear our common aspiration for more sovereignty, development and well-being. Alongside my peers, I reaffirm Senegal’s commitment to strengthening efforts for peace, security, stability and African integration. To friendly countries and partners, I reiterate Senegal’s commitment and openness to exchanges respectful of our sovereignty, consistent with the legitimate aspirations of our people in a mutually winning partnership,” said the youngest president in history. of Senegal, on the occasion of his swearing-in ceremony.
Thus, after devoting his first international outings to neighboring Mauritania and Gambia, the Faye government announces the dynamics of visits to Guinea, Mali, Niger and Burkina, according to the Senegalese colleague, Senego.

To this end, we are planning a tour, at the invitation of our partners, which should start with stops in Guinea Conakry, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.
We will also strengthen our political partnerships with the rest of the world by warming existing relationships and exploring the many new solicitations coming from all continents.
