The United Kingdom and Senegal have concluded a Defence Cooperation Treaty, which was signed on 4 December 2023.
The development of the defence relationships with Senegal means that the arrangements now require reciprocal concurrent jurisdictional provision. In order to effect those provisions, it is necessary to designate Senegal as a countries to which the Visiting Forces Act 1952 applies.
1952 c. 67; section 1(2) was amended by section 33 of the Armed Forces Act 1996 c. 46.
