The President held a bilateral meeting with President Sall in the Palais Présidentiel in Dakar. At their meeting, the two Heads of State discussed a range of topics relevant to the upcoming Dakar 2 Summit, including structural issues surrounding food security, climate change and climate justice, desertification, human rights, empowering women, and the importance of multilateral institutions in achieving these goals.
The President also conveyed the deepest sympathies of the people of Ireland to President Sall following the significant loss of life in two major road traffic accidents in Kaffrine and Louga earlier this month.
