“More than 60 years ago, the Ivorian people threw off the yoke of colonial oppression and fought for their right to self-determination. Today’s Côte d'Ivoire is developing dynamically thanks to effective reforms, is an influential member of the Economic Community of West African States, and commands well-deserved respect both on the African continent and beyond,” the congratulatory message reads.
The head of state noted that Minsk considers Yamoussoukro a reliable partner. “I am convinced that expanding bilateral cooperation and interaction within international organizations fully serves the long-term interests of our countries,” the president emphasized. “We see significant potential for strengthening ties and implementing joint projects in agriculture, industrial cooperation, healthcare, and education.”
