Cooperation with the Saudi Group Mabani Al Jazeera for Projects
The Head of State received a delegation from the Mabani Al Jazeera for Projects Group, led by its President and Chief Executive Officer, Abdullah Al Malki. This Saudi company, which has been active for more than twenty-five years in construction, the trade of building materials, and real estate development, was received as part of discussions aimed at identifying mutually beneficial partnership opportunities.
The talks focused primarily on the modalities for a possible mobilization of the group’s expertise to support the national social housing program. This meeting is fully in line with the priority given by the authorities to improving public access to decent, sustainable, and affordable housing.

In a spiritual context, President Faye granted an audience to His Excellency Cherif Sidi Ali Bel Arabi At Tidjani, Global General Khalifa of the Tidjaniyya of Aïn Madhi (Algeria). This courtesy visit, held on February 10, 2026, followed a recent spiritual mission undertaken by the Khalifa in Koukoto, in the Koungheul department.
The discussions, marked by an atmosphere of reflection and fraternity, highlighted the central role of spiritual values in strengthening peace, social cohesion, and harmonious coexistence in Senegal. On this occasion, the Khalifa praised the excellence of the longstanding historical and spiritual relations between Senegal and Algeria, rooted in a shared heritage.

The Head of State also received Ousmane Diagana, Vice President of the World Bank for Western and Central Africa. This meeting was held as part of the regular consultations that underpin the strategic partnership between Senegal and the Bretton Woods institution.
Mr. Diagana reaffirmed the World Bank’s continued commitment to supporting the country in the implementation of its structural reforms and in advancing its national transformation agenda.
