"As my visit to your beautiful country comes to an end, I would like to express my sincere thanks for the warm welcome and the generous hospitality that i have witnessed throughout my stay in Abidjan,'' said His Majesty the King in a thank you letter to the Ivorian president.
The Sovereign said he was "particularly touched by the welcome I received along with the entire delegation accompanying me."
"I also appreciate the fraternal and fruitful discussions we had yesterday following your return to Côte d'Ivoire. Our talks have indeed confirmed the convergence of our points of view, both in terms of our bilateral relations, or regarding regional issues of common interest,'' the Monarch said.
HM the King also welcomed the positive outcome of the visit, which gave a strong impetus to relations of fruitful cooperation and active solidarity between the two brotherly countries.
