In a letter addressed to Ambassador Alhammouri, Dr Touray acknowledged his accreditation and conveyed the Commission’s readiness to extend full cooperation and support throughout his tenure.

He also reaffirmed the ECOWAS Commission’s commitment to working closely with the Palestinian representative in advancing areas of mutual interest.

Ambassador Alhammouri’s appointment is expected to further strengthen relations and cooperation between the State of Palestine and the ECOWAS Commission.
