Members of the African delegation said that an ambulance substation is currently being commissioned in Thiès, a new park is being developed, and a swimming pool is being built. In this regard, Mikhail Razvozhaev instructed the heads of relevant Sevastopol departments to introduce the guests to the implementation of similar projects in our city, especially those related to the improvement of public spaces. The head of the city focused on projects that are being implemented on behalf of the president: «New Khersones», a cultural cluster and a yacht marina in Balaklava.

The parties also agreed to prepare educational programs for schoolchildren, thanks to which Sevastopol children will be able to learn about the history of Thiès, and Senegalese schoolchildren will be able to learn about the history of the Hero City.

This visit was an important step in establishing global cooperation. I consider the results of this visit to be the most important for our city. We managed to discuss the details of cooperation in various areas. This includes the economy, healthcare, and culture.— emphasizes the mayor of Thiès.
