Jallow is currently representing The Gambia at the Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), taking place in Aqaba, Turkmenistan, from August 5 to 8, 2025.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The conference brings together UN member states, landlocked developing countries, neighboring transit countries, and development partners to address the persistent challenges faced by LLDCs. These countries, characterized by their lack of territorial access to the sea, often grapple with lower GDP and human development indicators. The forum aims to align national efforts, regional cooperation, and global policy to chart a more inclusive and resilient path toward sustainable development for LLDCs.<\/p>\n<p>Held under the theme \u201cDriving Progress Through Partnership,\u201d the conference emphasizes the need for collaborative approaches to overcome geographic and economic constraints.<\/p>\n<p>Although The Gambia is not landlocked, Vice President Jallow underscored the country\u2019s strategic importance as a coastal Least Developed Country (LDC) with vital trade and transit connections to landlocked neighbors in the West African subregion.<\/p>\n<p>In his address, VP Jallow reaffirmed The Gambia\u2019s solidarity with LLDCs and its commitment to supporting initiatives in trade facilitation, regional integration, and infrastructure development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeography should not determine destiny,\u201d he said. \u201cLandlocked developing countries face trade costs that are up to 74% higher than those of coastal nations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized the importance of The Gambia\u2019s geographic position as a gateway to the Atlantic Ocean through the Port of Banjul, which serves as a critical trade and transit corridor for neighboring LLDCs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartnerships are the cornerstone of durable solutions,\u201d VP Jallow added. \u201cGovernments alone cannot address these multifaceted challenges. We need a robust global coalition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by calling on development partners, international financial institutions, and the private sector to honor their commitments and mobilize meaningful support for LLDCs.<\/p>\n<p>The Gambia, he affirmed, remains committed to ensuring that no country is left behind due to its geographical limitations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
