The ACUD and Côte d’Ivoire Embassy have signed an agreement for a 5,000-square-meter land plot in the New Administrative Capital. This area will house the new embassy headquarters and ambassador’s residence. Both parties expressed their enthusiasm about the relocation, which strengthens diplomatic ties and enhances urban development in the region.
The Administrative Capital for Urban Development (ACUD) and the Embassy of Côte d’Ivoire in Cairo have formalized a land sale agreement for a 5,000-square-meter plot. This site will become the new headquarters for the embassy and the ambassador’s residence, situated in the Diplomatic District of the New Administrative Capital (NAC).
The signing was conducted by Khaled Abbas, Chairperson and Managing Director of ACUD, alongside Albert G. Dole, Ambassador of Côte d’Ivoire to Egypt, with representatives from both entities in attendance. Ambassador Dole expressed his pleasure regarding the relocation, stating that it demonstrates the robust relations between the two nations.
Ambassador Dole remarked, “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 praised the NAC for its sophisticated urban development, which features advanced infrastructure and optimal living standards. Additionally, he underscored the significance of the embassy’s new location in the Diplomatic District.
Khaled Abbas also welcomed the agreement and acknowledged the contributions of Ambassador Dole. “We are pleased to sign this agreement, paving the way for the embassy’s relocation to the Diplomatic District,” he stated, emphasizing the increasing presence of embassies in the NAC.
The New Administrative Capital’s master plan designates the Diplomatic District for foreign embassies and other diplomatic missions currently located throughout Cairo. This initiative aims to develop a centralized, modern diplomatic hub, thereby enhancing the capital’s status both globally and regionally.
This agreement reflects ACUD’s continued efforts to attract diplomatic missions, following recent contracts, including one with the Embassy of Algeria in Cairo, highlighting the commitment towards establishing the NAC as a premier diplomatic center.
In conclusion, the recent agreement between ACUD and the Côte d’Ivoire Embassy marks a significant step in enhancing the diplomatic landscape of Egypt. The establishment of the new embassy headquarters in the Diplomate District of the New Administrative Capital underscores the growing relations between Côte d’Ivoire and Egypt, as well as the NAC’s evolution into a global diplomatic hub. This initiative aligns with the master plan of the NAC to consolidate foreign embassies and improve regional diplomatic relevance.
