The summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is held in The Gambia on May 4-5. The OIC is an international intergovernmental organization of states where a significant proportion of the population is Muslim. Russia has been an observer member of the OIC since 2005.
Russian region of Tatarstan intends to develop cooperation with Sierra Leone and The Gambia, said the head of the region, Rustam Minnikhanov.
He met with Sierra Leone's President Julius Maada Bio and The Gambia's President Adama Barrow at the 15th Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in The Gambia.
According to Minnikhanov, the current level of trade and economic interaction between the Republic of Tatarstan and Sierra Leone is modest. However, products made in the republic, such as helicopters and trucks, are well-recognized in the African market.
