Senegal’s interior minister has received his French counterpart in Dakar where they both discussed bilateral issues on immigration, and student visas.
Also discussed was what they called “the burning issue of intense drug trafficking” between the two countries.
on Tuesday in Dakar, French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said in the presence of his Senegalese counterpart, that he wanted to cut short the “rumor” of intense drug trafficking between the two countries.
His Senegalese colleague Antoine Félix Abdoulaye Diome spoke of a “really marginal” issue and spoke out against the “clichés” conveyed on the part taken by his compatriots in drug trafficking, especially crack in Paris.
He mentioned the difficulty for Senegalese to obtain a visa or to renew a residence permit, and the lengthening of delays in recent years.
