The Gambia High Commission in London has taken another bold step in advancing the government’s drive for economic diplomacy, holding a fruitful meeting this week with Miss Fatou Sanyang, representative of Zenya World Limited, a UK-based fintech company founded by a Gambian entrepreneur.

The meeting, led by Mr. Sulayman Suntou Touray, Deputy Head of Mission, and attended by Mr. Zindi Anthony Levi, Diplomatic Intern, reflected the High Commission’s growing efforts to connect Gambian businesses with international partners and promote trade and investment opportunities abroad.

According to officials, discussions focused on Zenya World’s proposal to collaborate with the High Commission on a new initiative aimed at strengthening trade and business ties between The Gambia and the United Kingdom. The proposed partnership seeks to create a strategic platform to boost bilateral cooperation, encourage trade and investment, and increase the visibility of Gambian enterprises within the UK market.

Zenya World Limited’s fintech background and entrepreneurial roots offer a unique advantage in this collaboration. The company’s commitment to innovation and sustainable economic growth resonates strongly with the Gambian government’s vision under President Adama Barrow, which places private sector development and international partnerships at the heart of national progress.

Mr. Touray described the meeting as “a positive step toward deepening The Gambia’s economic footprint in the United Kingdom,” noting that such partnerships are vital to the country’s long-term trade and investment goals.

The High Commission welcomed Zenya’s initiative as timely and forward-thinking, especially as preparations intensify for the UK–Gambia Business and Investment Forum 2026 — a key event expected to draw investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers from both countries.

With this collaboration, the Gambia High Commission continues to affirm its commitment to promoting the country’s economic interests abroad and positioning The Gambia as a dynamic and open destination for trade, technology, and investment.
