He cited the US-Gambia relations as key in maintaining such connections. President Barrow also said KMC\u2019s partnership with Madison City is anchored on the \u201dAfrican-American-Gambia relations to attract our diaspora brothers and sisters to return to Africa and the Gambia in particular\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The President also stated the consideration of reactivation of the Roots Homecoming Festival to achieve this objective.<\/p>\n<p>On her part, Mayor Rhodes-Conway thanked the President for the reception while pledging her organization\u2019s continuous support to strengthen the ties of friendship between the sister cities.
