This agreement was signed on Friday during a pivotal meeting in Rabat between Abdellatif Loudiyi, Morocco’s Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of National Defense, and Téné Birahima Ouattara, Côte d’Ivoire’s Minister of State and Minister of Defense.

During their discussions, Minister Loudiyi referenced King Mohammed VI’s visionary initiative aimed at transforming Africa’s Atlantic coast into a region characterized by economic integration, peace, stability, and shared prosperity. This ambitious vision extends to both Atlantic and Sahel countries, offering them enhanced access to the Atlantic Ocean and fostering new avenues for development.
