The initiative aims to protect port infrastructure and ensure that commercial exchanges between the United States and Côte d’Ivoire take place under optimal security conditions.

Officials involved indicate that this cooperation is part of a broader strategy to modernize and secure Ivorian ports, prevent potential threats, and maintain the confidence of international partners.

Through this partnership, Côte d’Ivoire demonstrates its commitment to developing maritime security practices in line with international standards, while supporting foreign trade and protecting strategic infrastructure.

The program represents a significant step in strengthening maritime cooperation between Côte d’Ivoire and the United States, highlighting the country’s determination to provide a safe environment for maritime commerce and cargo transport.
