Taiwanese community retreats to Kanilaiby

Wednesday, August 20, 2008

Members of the Taiwanese community recently retreated to President Jammeh’s farm at Kanilai Village, Foni Kansala, in response to his call for people to go back to the land for the attainment of food-self sufficiency.

The officials of the Taiwanese Technical Mission in the country and other Taiwanese nationals residing in the country took part in a weeding exercise at the rice fields in Kanilai.

The volunteers were led to the farm by the chief of the Taiwanese Mission, Ambassador Richard Shih.

When he visited the volunteers on the farm, President Jammeh thanked the Taiwanese community for their support. He described Taiwan as a true and genuine friend of The Gambia.
