"Empathy and generosity are among the values that HM King Mohammed VI embodies and today's gesture is part of a vision, that of strengthening south-south cooperation between African States," the Ivorian official told the press, during the reception in Abidjan of equipment and medical products that make up the Moroccan aid.
"The solidarity expressed by HM the King is not in the realm of rhetoric, it is illustrated in acts such as this gesture to support Cote d'Ivoire and several other African countries in the management of the pandemic," he added.
"President Alassane Ouattara, the Ivorian government and people are grateful to HM the King for this manifestation of solidarity," Coulibaly said.
