Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara began a three-day visit to Kuwait on Sunday at the invitation of Emir Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah. During this stay, which will be marked by the signing of cooperation agreements, a meeting is planned between the two men as well as with the business community.
“We will be able to discuss issues related to cooperation between our two countries (…) and especially invite the authorities and the private sector to focus on investment in Côte d’Ivoire,” said Ivorian television chief of the Ivorian executive.
Kuwait is active in the Ivorian economy through the “Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development” (KFAED), which provides financing for infrastructure projects. Last year, the Fund granted Abidjan a loan of 10 billion FCFA, or 15.2 million euros, for the construction project of the technical and vocational training center in Daloa (center west of the country).
