Togo Chamber of Commerce Seeks to Turn Interest from Senegal and Egypt into Partnerships

CCI-Togo president José Kwassi Symenouh met with the ambassadors of Senegal and Egypt on October 17, 2026, to discuss trade facilitation and business partnerships. Talks with Senegal focused on connecting businesses, market access under the African Continental Free Trade Area, and border difficulties; Senegal accounted for 6.2% of Togo’s exports in the second quarter of 2025. Trade with Egypt is sharply imbalanced: in 2025, Togo imported $30.29 million worth of Egyptian goods while exporting about $302,000. The countries are considering cooperation in medicines, agriculture, technology, and construction, and Egypt’s foreign minister is expected to visit with businesspeople in the first quarter of 2027.
