“I feel great. This is an opportunity for The Gambia to participate in this programme known as Passport DC,” Ambassador Momodou Lamin Bah says in an interview, adding it’s the most diverse event hosted by Washington D.C.
“We have so many embassies present here in Washington D.C., and we call the programme Passport DC so that we bring the embassies together to showcase cultural diversity.”
“You know they bring their culture and traditions to the doorsteps of Washington so that everybody can come under the same umbrella and have their culture and cultural diversity showcased. I think this is the second time we are participating as an embassy,” Mr. Bah recalled, adding that invitation had been extended to Banjul as it’s opportunity for cultural diversification and tourism back home.
