Energy, health, airports: Bassirou Diomaye Faye rolls out projects from Senegal to Paris

After the platform, it’s time for the files. On the sidelines of the Paris Peace Forum, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye received, this Wednesday, November 11, 2026, several leaders of leading industrial groups and financial institutions, including the Rothschild & Co bank and the Vinci group, according to a press release from the Presidency of the Republic.

These hearings made it possible to examine concrete projects in energy, health and airport infrastructure, as well as the conditions for their financing. The Head of State presented Senegal’s priorities and the reforms undertaken to strengthen the attractiveness of the country, the transparency of public management and the security of investments.

Its message is clear: Senegal intends to combine, with its own resources, solid partnerships with the international private sector. The objective is to accelerate the structuring projects of Vision Senegal 2050, to create jobs for young people and to improve the living conditions of the populations.

This economic sequence prolongs a shift that was initially diplomatic. Leaving Dakar on Monday, November 9, the president made Paris the first stop on a tour. The same day, he spoke at the Élysée with Emmanuel Macron. On Tuesday, November 10, he spoke at the Palais de Chaillot during the high-level sequence of the Summit on Children, organized as part of the Forum. He defended the protection of children without distinction or selective treatment. This 9th edition of the Forum will be held on November 10 and 11 on the theme “From sovereignty to cooperation”.

The Head of State thus continues, at each stage, the mobilization of partners in the service of development. Paris first. Phnom Penh then, for the 20th Francophonie Summit
