Faure Gnassingbé recently met with Hafez Ghanem to disccuss his country's priorities under its partnership with the World Bank

(Togo First) - Currently in New York for the UN 74th assembly general, President Gnassingbé met on September 25 with the World Bank's Vice President for Africa, Hafez Ghanem. 

The two men mostly discussed about the World Bank's support to development initiatives in Togo and new cooperation opportunities, in the digital sector especially. 

"I had the opportunity to talk with the Head of State about Togo's priorities in its partnership with the World Bank," said Hafez Ghanem after the meeting. Talks revolved on "how the institution will keep supporting the government's efforts to spur the country's growth."

Before that meeting, another between Togo's Prime Minister Komi Klassou and Hawa Cissé Wagué, World Bank's Resident-Representative in Togo, took place. On this occasion, the institution's representative reiterated its support to Togo's national development plan. 

Let's recall that the World Bank has invested so far nearly $400 million in Togo.
