Ivorian Foreign Minister Kandia Camara, in Ankara on Tuesday, discussed trade opportunities with her Turkish counterpart Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu.
Camara, on the 8th day of her working stay in Turkey, met Çavuşoğlu where the officials discussed business and trade as they touched on ways to strengthen bilateral relations.
The Ivorian minister hinted the agricultural sector would experience significant transformations in the coming years, increasing investment opportunities if Turkey invests more than 200 million dollars in the West African country.
During a press conference, she addressed the war in Ukraine and called for the creation of an international conflict resolution committee: “It would be good if there were a committee bringing together the Foreign ministers of all regions of the world to anticipate potential conflicts between countries”
“That committee would travel from capital to capital, and gather the parties at war, bring them around the table to negotiate and find peaceful solutions through diplomacy, discussion, and dialogue. This is what you have succeeded in doing here in Ankara by inviting the foreign ministers of Russia and Ukraine”,she said further.
The Foreign Ministers also discussed health and education. Camara said the countries had signed a deal for Ivorian aspiring nurses and doctors to be able to come study in the transcontinental country.
“Turkey is the first country to which Ivorians go for medical care“.
She added, the two countries would discuss how to increase the number of scholarships Ivorian students could be offered to pursue their education in Turkey.
