Representative of Ivory Coast Halal Certification Authority and Senegal Businessmen’s Association Representative visited GIMDES and World Halal Council President Dr. Huseyin Kami BUYUKOZER. Mustafa MERAL who is a member of the Fiqh Board, and Mehmet Zahid BUYUKOZER who is a member of the Board of Directors, were also present at the visit. After their visit in December 2016 and December 2018, the guests visited for the third time this year.

The guests, who expressed their dissatisfaction with the inadequate halal certification studies, especially in Europe, said that they wanted to work more closely with GIMDES. In addition, the guests stated that they also took as an example the services that GIMDES has been able to do in Turkey and around the world by the grace of Allah (SWT). In this context, in addition to certification services, they organized conferences for congregations in mosques, especially communiqué (Tabligh) and guidance (Irshad) studies and shared that they explained the importance of Halal food and Halal life to Muslims.

Our visitor from Senegal stated that they would speed up the membership studies by getting information about the processes related to the World Halal Council (WHC), and that they wanted to benefit from the experience of GIMDES in the certification studies to be carried out in Africa, and since the establishment of GIMDES, they have been trying to do work similar to “Halalan Tayyiban” work with a professor in Belgium. Also, he stated that he was very pleased to learn that the certificates given by GIMDES are given to those who meet the “Halalan Tayyiban” conditions.

Our guests continued their visit to Turkey by visiting Halal Dunya Market branches.
