Luanda – The outgoing ambassador of Côte d’Ivoire to Angola Desiré Bosson Assamai said Friday in Luanda that the Covid-19 pandemic affected the implementation of several projects between the countries.

He mentioned, among others, the resumption of the air connection between the two countries and another in the field of agriculture, with well-advanced studies.

“The projects are still in the pipeline”, said the ambassador, who considered the friendly relations and cooperation between the countries excellent.
