He also expressed excitement at the significant progress made through the collective efforts towards the resolution of the political and institutional crisis in Guinea Bissau. 

He added: "Within the framework of our regional solidarity, we have assisted the governments of Togo and Mali in tackling political and security problems while also addressing food challenges in parts of the sub-region."

Togo, in recent times, has witnessed a series of protests by opposition parties who are calling for a return to the country's constitution, which imposes limits on presidential terms.
