Prince Dominique de La Rochefoucauld-Montbel and Dr. AKA AOUELE, Minister of Health and representative of the Government of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire; it establishes, in a more formal way, the diplomatic relations between the two States, and it will allow, in particular, the Order’s subordinate organizations to intervene on the Ivorian territory and thus strengthen the current partnership in this country.
