The forum will also feature thematic sessions, presentations, government-to-business (G2B) and business-to-business, (B2B) meetings, and provide sector-specific perspectives.
Shortly before his departure, Janko thanked the management of The Point newspaper for nominating him to participate in such an important international forum.
The trip, he added, would hone his skills and experience especially on the international scene.
He is expected to join other journalists from across Africa and beyond, which accord them a great opportunity to interact with business stakeholders and participants at the forum.
He equally thanked the Turkish Ambassador to The Gambia, H.E. F. Turker OBA and staff of the Embassy for facilitating the trip.
