During her recent visits to Séguéla and Korhogo, U.S. Ambassador Jessica Davis Ba met with the dedicated members of the Northern Operational Zone (ZON) of the Armed Forces of Côte d’Ivoire.

These brave Ivorian soldiers play a crucial role in maintaining peace, protecting communities, and ensuring stability across the northern regions of the country — a mission that remains vital in the current regional context.

The ambassador’s visit highlights the importance of local leadership in security efforts and reaffirms the United States’ continued support through training programs and equipment donations.

“A stable and secure Côte d’Ivoire is essential to unlocking opportunities, encouraging growth, and fostering long-term development,” said Ambassador Davis Ba.

Through this partnership, the United States stands alongside Côte d’Ivoire in its efforts to strengthen local capabilities and build a resilient, inclusive future.

Together, we invest in peace. Together, we build a stronger tomorrow
