The Ivorian ambassador to the United Nations, Mr. Youssoufou
Bamba, welcomed, Wednesday February 26th 2014 the "strong
commitment" of Morocco to the reconstruction of Côte d'Ivoire,
while expressing the "gratitude" of the Ivorian people and
government to His Majesty King Mohammed VI for his visit to the
African country. <br>
"Morocco is firmly committed to supporting

The
Ivorian ambassador expressed "the gratitude of the Ivorian
people to Morocco, and particularly to His Majesty the King who
wanted to come in person to Côte d'Ivoire at the head of a large
delegation including government officials and businessmen." " It
is a visit that brought us joy on so many levels, and Côte d'Ivoire
is honored to receive His Majesty the King who wanted to come to
provide support to Côte d'Ivoire in this period of crisis when the
country is starting its reconstruction process," he said, adding
that the strength of relations between the two countries stems
from the exceptional friendship between the late King Hassan II
and the late President Mr. Felix Houphouet-Boigny, a relationship
based on brotherhood, solidarity and mutual respect, and which
extends today to relations between HM King Mohammed VI and
President Mr. Alassane Ouattara.
