With our correspondent in Abidjan, Bineta Diagne
Red carpet for the delegation from Brazzaville: several ministers made the trip. And for more than an hour, the Congolese and Ivorian heads of state reviewed several cooperation topics.
At the end of this meeting, the Ivorian president hails the role of mediator of his Congolese counterpart on the continent. Role, which according to him, has borne fruit in Côte d’Ivoire. ” I remember that you, as president of the conference of heads of state of the African Union, spent several days with us here in Côte d’Ivoire tried to reconcile us, presidents Bédié, Gbagbo and myselfrecalled Alassane Ouattara. And I know it was not an easy task. I can tell you that today you have succeeded, since we are totally reconciled. »
Another project that occupies the Congolese president: the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. At the end of the week, Denis Sassou-Nguesso and six other African presidents will meet the main actors in this conflict, to carry a message of peace. “ The African peoples have always favored palaver, dialogue. It is therefore the resolution of problems by diplomacy, dialogue and not by guns. And it is therefore this message that Africa would like to pass on to the belligerents through this initiative. »
For the Congolese president, it will also be an opportunity to explain in person the negative impact of the conflict on the African economy.
