Discussions on Guinean-Ivorian cooperation
Mamadi Doumbouya’s return follows a state visit to Côte d’Ivoire focused on unity, peace, and pan-Africanism.
During his stay, the Guinean president was notably received by his Ivorian counterpart, Alassane Ouattara. The two leaders discussed strengthening relations between Conakry and Abidjan.
After their meeting, Alassane Ouattara highlighted the strength of ties between the two countries. “The links between Côte d’Ivoire and Guinea are solid.”
The Ivorian president also outlined the main topics discussed with his Guinean counterpart: “With my brother, President Mamadi Doumbouya, we exchanged on strengthening this historic brotherhood, particularly in the economic, political and security fields.”
This state visit thus allowed the two countries to highlight their commitment to consolidating their cooperation in several strategic sectors.
