Fellow Gambians, my African Compatriots, Diaspora Africans On behalf of the National Executive Committee, the members, and militants of the United Democratic Party and Indeed on my own behalf I wish you happy Africa Day. It is 58 years today since the leaders of our continent converged in Addis Ababa to establish Organisation for African Unity when the Gambia was still under British colonial control. I pledge to you that a UDP Government will pursue a Foreign Policy based on our timeless Pan African values of Ubuntu, Teranga, Boonya; values that emphasise the worth and dignity of human beings; values that place a premium on cooperation and solidarity in place sterile competition. A new Pan African cooperation framework anchored on African culture and civilisation that celebrates our diversity in unity of purpose and shared values of democracy, good governance and respect for the rule of law.
