ACUD and the Embassy of Côte d’Ivoire have signed a land sale agreement for the new embassy headquarters in the Diplomatic District of the New Administrative Capital (NAC), highlighting strong bilateral relations and commitment to urban development. The relocation aims to create a centralized diplomatic hub, reinforcing the NAC’s role as a global diplomatic center.
The Administrative Capital for Urban Development (ACUD) and the Embassy of Côte d’Ivoire in Cairo have entered into a land sale agreement for a 5,000-square-meter site, designated for the construction of the new embassy headquarters and ambassador’s residence in the Diplomatic District of the New Administrative Capital (NAC). This agreement was executed by Khaled Abbas, ACUD Chairperson, and Ambassador Albert G. Dole of Côte d’Ivoire, with representatives from both organizations in attendance.
Ambassador Dole expressed enthusiasm regarding the embassy’s forthcoming relocation, remarking, “We are delighted to be in the NAC, following the directives of the Ivorian President. This move is a testament to the strong ties between our two nations.” He acknowledged ACUD for its swift facilitation of the contract and emphasized the NAC’s role in urban development, featuring advanced infrastructure and high living standards, which render it an ideal location for diplomatic activities.
In his remarks, Khaled Abbas expressed gratitude to Ambassador Dole, stating, “We are pleased to sign this agreement, paving the way for the embassy’s relocation to the Diplomatic District in the New Administrative Capital.” He indicated that Côte d’Ivoire’s presence will enhance the district, noting a growing trend of embassies moving to the NAC and thereby contributing to the establishment of a sophisticated diplomatic zone.
The New Administrative Capital’s master plan features the Diplomatic District, which aims to consolidate all foreign embassies and diplomatic missions currently scattered throughout Cairo. This endeavor seeks to create a centralized and modern diplomatic hub, bolstering the capital’s significance as a center for global and regional diplomacy.
This recent agreement with the Embassy of Côte d’Ivoire reinforces ACUD’s ongoing initiatives to attract diplomatic missions to the New Capital, following a series of similar agreements including one with the Embassy of Algeria in Cairo.
In summary, the recent agreement between ACUD and the Embassy of Côte d’Ivoire underscores a significant advancement in diplomatic infrastructure within the New Administrative Capital. Both parties expressed enthusiasm for the relocation, which reflects the strengthening bilateral ties and the ambitious development goals of the NAC. As more embassies plan to relocate to this region, it is poised to become a central diplomatic hub, enhancing its international stature.
