A notable political and diplomatic development is set to unfold in Senegal this Friday, July 17, 2026. Former President Macky Sall announced on Tuesday, the 14th, through his official social media channels, that he plans a brief trip to Dakar to engage in discussions with his successor, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye.
According to Macky Sall, the primary focus of this anticipated meeting will be his ongoing campaign for the position of United Nations Secretary-General. The former head of state also indicated the visit would be concise. However, he confirmed his intention to return to Dakar in the near future for a more extensive engagement with his supporters and sympathizers.
This visit occurs amidst a period of intense diplomatic activity by the former Senegalese president. In recent weeks, Macky Sall has significantly increased his international engagements, particularly concerning issues of multilateralism and global governance.
He has notably reported holding meetings with various diplomatic representatives, including ambassadors from permanent member states of the United Nations Security Council. These efforts are integral to his broader strategy of securing support for his candidacy to lead the UN.
Therefore, the scheduled meeting with President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is poised to represent a crucial next phase in this international diplomatic endeavor.
