President Mukherjee, in a message to Senegalese counterpart Macky Sall, wished him on behalf of people of India and noted how the engagement between Indian and Senegal has "expanded steadily in recent years", particularly in the areas of trade and development cooperation.
"Your participation in the Third India-Africa Forum Summit held recently in New Delhi, provided a valuable opportunity for us to discuss ways to further strengthen our multi-faceted engagements.
