A delegation from the Embassy of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire will be visiting Sri Lanka from 31 January to 7 February.
Eric Camille N’dry, the Ambassador designate of Cote d’Ivoire to Sri Lanka, will be presenting his credentials to the President of Sri Lanka, Ranil Wickremesinghe, while the delegation will be participating in the Conference on African Heads of Mission with the President, as well as the Independence Day celebrations, the embassy said in a media release.
In Sri Lanka the Côte d’Ivoire is represented by Sheran Fernando, Honorary Consul.
The delegation will also be holding business meetings with a view to building collaboration and partnerships between Sri Lanka and Côte d’Ivoire.
The Republic of Côte d’Ivoire is a West African country bordering Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ghana.
Côte d’Ivoire is the powerhouse of the economy of French-speaking West Africa, and is the gateway to the vast market of 15 West African States. It has recorded good economic and social performances since 2012, with an average growth rate of 8% in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) between 2012 and 2019; 7.4% in 2021. All this is within a reliable macroeconomic environment characterized by an inflation rate remaining permanently below the community threshold of 3%.
With a view to consolidating and increasing the achievements in terms of economic, social and environmental development, the Government has decided to continue the strategic planning of its development through the establishment, since 2012, of a five-year National Development Plan (PND).
