On Thursday, February 20, 2025, the France Côte d'Ivoire Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFCI) had the honor of hosting His Excellency Mr. Arnaud de Vivies, Ambassador of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, accompanied by Mrs. Florence Moreau, First Secretary.

The meeting was attended by Mr. Jean-Louis Legras, President of the CCIFCI, Mr. Nicolas Houard, Vice President, Mr. Christian Droneau, 2nd Vice President, and Mr. Amaury Pourkier, Director General.

The gathering was an enriching exchange that included a presentation of the Saint Jean-Baptiste Hospital in Bodo Tiassalé, a private, non-profit, faith-based institution that contributes to the public health service of Côte d'Ivoire. Established in 2015 by Compagnie Fruitière and managed by the Order of Malta France, the hospital plays a crucial role in the region’s healthcare system.

Additionally, the discussions focused on potential opportunities for collaboration between the Order of Malta, the CCIFCI, and its members, aiming to strengthen ties and explore new avenues of cooperation.
