General Masanneh Kinteh, was at State House to express his sincere appreciation to the vice president and the government of The Gambia for successfully hosting the military exercise which will be concluded today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has been a wonderful opportunity for the 40 different nations to assemble here in The Gambia and participate in this very important military training. It would not have been possible without her support as well as the support of the chief of Defence Staff, Lt. Gen. Kinteh and the entire government,&#8221; he told reporters. General Ham said the VP was pleased with the exercise, and went on to disclose that they discussed with the CDS of GAF the possibilty of conducting a similar military exercise in the near future. He stated further that the US and The Gambia have for long enjoyed cordial ties, which they want to continue. &#8220;So we will look for areas where we can increase our cooperation,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Lt. General Massaneh Kinteh opined that the move will further act as a springboard in consolidating the already existing military ties between the two countries. He said: &#8220;This African partnership has even brought us closer and not only closer, but has brought on board other partners, that on our side would not have been able to meet. So having 40 countries in The Gambia for this exercise is a great honour for us as it has moved our relations to another level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It would be recalled that the exercise, which was organised by the United States government, the US Department of State for Defense and the United States Africa Command, was meant to give the participating nations a unique opportunity to once again test their military communication equipment with a view to harmonising their interoperability for future support to the African forces operations. It attracted military and civilian participants from over 40 countries from the African Continent and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>View article:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201107250501.html\" title=\"General Carter Meets VP\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General Carter Meets VP<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The Daily Observer (Banjul) Sheriff Janko 21 July 2011 The Commander of United States Africa Command Thursday called on the vice president and minister of Women&#8217;s Affairs, Aja Dr Isatou Njie-Saidy at State House.
