The Gambian government has embarked on a foreign investment attraction onslaught, eyeing the United Arab Emirates based Emirates Investment Group (EIG).
Gambian ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Mambury Njie, last Tuesday, held talks with the chairman of the group, Sheikh Tariq Bin Faisalmamburry_njie Al Qassimi, with the aim of enticing the group to explore investment opportunities Gambia has on offer.  
The Emirates Investments Group LLC is an investment company with interests in the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions. According to a statement on the group’s website, it offers business development opportunities, working closely with established companies through partnerships. With an initial focus on Financial Services and Real Estate, EIG expanded its interest with investments in Trading, Industry and Aviation.
During last Tuesday’s meeting, the Gambian representative to the UAE presented the group’s chairman with a range of investment opportunities in Gambia, according to AME Info.com, a UAE business information media. Ambassador Njie reportedly used the opportunity to introduce the new business laws introduced by the Gambia with the aim of attracting more international investments.
Sheikh Al Qassimi acknowledged the viability of Gambia’s business environment, citing the reassuring opportunities the country’s new business laws offer.
"Investors are always alert to fresh investment opportunities, and Gambia's new business laws, designed to encourage foreign investment, certainly could make the country an enticing prospect,’’ he was quoted by AME Info.com.
Sheikh Al Qassimi told reporters that the Gambia government's focus on the sector of agriculture, among others, which he said is of interest to EIG, suggests that the West African nation is particularly promising.
"The meeting went extremely well. As I stated in my meeting with Sheikh Tariq, Gambia has a lot to offer, and I am excited over the prospect of future cooperation with EIG," Ambassador Njie was quoted as saying.

Brother Righteousness: If I can tell you, alot of things Africans do miss from the Arab world is because they are not using their Arabic students one of the best things Senegal is now capitalizing on in these days and they are prospering in it, The only country that Senegal followed is MALI-Baa. Mali depend on her Arabic students that is why, in any relation they are having with the Arab world, they never laugh at them or in other words, regret in it because those students who graduated from them, knows them very well than who is just from a High school in The Gambia and you are using him or her to challenge someone backing his Doctorate degree, this is why you can take an example of the Arab countries in Africa are even taking a lead in every thing in African affairs: Football, Politics, Business ! you name them. Why? because those dealing with them didn't know where their week points laid.
In theservice of Africa I remain.

African nations must open close and strong ties with the arab world if we are to prosper in many aspect.we have so many things in common with them and that can be easily achieve by having our Gambian arabic interlectuals in the diplomatic representation.I agree with brother lalo`s idea, we need to have our brothers/sisters who learn arabic to represent us as diplomats in the arab world if we are to have a very strong and fruitful ties with them.I will also say a big thank you to Ambassador Njie.

The only Failure of African governments towards the Arab world is their lack of utalizing their Arabic students like the way they are using the Latin student such as: English and French students, but whenever it comes to the Arabic students side to use them in the Arab world, you find them always thinking that, they (The Arab students) are not capable of delivering while. They forget that it is only a language difference but to administer is only one driving handle, So African governments wake of and consider your patriotic Sons who studies in the Arab world, they'll be in a better position to deliver than those English & French or Portugese students you are sending to the Arab world whom at the end of the day, you may be looking for a translator for them to do their work ! Why not to give chance those who can talk to the Arabs without interpretation ?
In the service of Africa I remain.
