Ambassador Jessye Lapenn, Senior Coordinator for Atlantic Cooperation, will visit Côte d’Ivoire from September 4-6. Her trip will focus on enhancing cooperation under the Atlantic Partnership, with discussions on sustainable development, scientific collaboration, and environmental conservation.

 

Strengthening Atlantic Cooperation

Purpose of the Visit

Ambassador Lapenn’s visit to Abidjan aims to bolster the Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation, a coalition of 40 countries dedicated to addressing shared challenges across the Atlantic region. The partnership focuses on sustainable economic development, scientific innovation, food security, and environmental preservation.

During her stay, Ambassador Lapenn will engage with the Ivorian government to advance these goals.

She will observe the Tenth Special Session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment and participate in a ministerial roundtable hosted by the Abidjan Convention, which aims to protect and manage the marine and coastal environments of West and Central Africa.

The Focus

  1. Sustainable Economic Development: Strengthening economic ties through shared projects and investments.
  2. Scientific Collaboration: Promoting joint research initiatives and technological advancements.
  3. Food Security: Enhancing agricultural practices and ensuring food availability.
  4. Environmental Conservation: Addressing climate change impacts and preserving natural resources.

 

Ambassador Lapenn emphasized,

“This visit is a significant step in reinforcing our commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Our collaboration with Côte d’Ivoire highlights the importance of working together to tackle global challenges.”

 

The Executive Secretary of the Abidjan Convention stated,

“We are thrilled to host Ambassador Lapenn and discuss critical issues that affect our region. Her visit will strengthen our efforts in protecting the Atlantic’s unique ecosystems.”

 

 

The Atlantic Partnership

The Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation was launched in September 2023 at the United Nations General Assembly. This unprecedented alliance brings together coastal nations from Africa, Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean to address common challenges such as:

  • Climate Change: Rising sea levels and warming oceans affecting marine and coastal environments.
  • Storms and Natural Disasters: Increasing frequency and intensity of storms damaging coastal areas.
  • Seaweed Blooms: Large-scale seaweed growth impacting public health and marine ecosystems.

 

Trade Relations Between the U.S. and Côte d’Ivoire

The trade dynamics between the U.S. and Côte d’Ivoire are crucial for both nations. Here is an overview of the trade relationship:

Trade Aspect

Trade Growth 166% increase in U.S. exports from 2012 to 2022; imports decreased by 4%

 

Cultural Exchanges

Cultural exchanges play a vital role in strengthening ties between the U.S. and Côte d’Ivoire. Through various programs, Ivorian officials, media representatives, and scholars visit the U.S., fostering mutual understanding and collaboration.

Similarly, U.S. representatives and specialists visit Côte d’Ivoire, enhancing bilateral relations and knowledge exchange.

 

Looking Ahead

Ambassador Lapenn’s visit represents a significant opportunity to advance the goals of the Atlantic Partnership.

By addressing shared challenges and enhancing cooperation, the visit will contribute to a more sustainable and prosperous future for both the Atlantic region and the broader international community.
