An appreciation letter signed by NPP France Chapter Secretary General Bubacarr Jabbi states: “It is with immense joy and deep honor that we gather to welcome a remarkable leader, advocate, and champion of social change - Her Excellency Fatoumata Bah Barrow, the First Lady of The Gambia.”

The letter added that Her Excellency Bah Barrow’s presence in France speaks volumes about the spirit of collaboration and unity that the National Peoples Party holds dear.

“It is not just a symbol of national pride but also an opportunity for us to engage in meaningful dialogue about progress, empowerment, and the future of our beloved Gambia,” it further said.

“As the First Lady, you have dedicated yourself to championing the rights of women and children, promoting education, and fostering sustainable development. Your unwavering commitment to social justice and equality resonates deeply with our values as a party. We are inspired by your vision and the tireless work you have undertaken to uplift the marginalized and give a voice to the voiceless,” the letter concludes.

The meeting, which happened to be the first official visit of Her Excellency Fatoumata Bah Barrow, to France gave her the opportunity to meet Gambians in France especially NPP France Chapter members.
