ACUD and the Côte d’Ivoire Embassy signed an agreement for a new embassy headquarters in the New Administrative Capital. The site will feature the embassy and the ambassador’s residence in the Diplomatic District. This development highlights enhanced diplomatic ties and urban development in the region.
The Administrative Capital for Urban Development (ACUD) has reached an agreement with the Embassy of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire in Cairo for the sale of a 5,000-square-meter parcel of land within the Diplomatic District of the New Administrative Capital (NAC). This land will serve as the site for the new embassy headquarters and the ambassador’s residence.
The signing ceremony was attended by Khaled Abbas, Chairperson of ACUD, and Albert G. Dole, Ambassador of Côte d’Ivoire to Egypt, along with representatives from both institutions. Ambassador Dole expressed his enthusiasm for the move to the NAC, emphasizing the positive relations between Côte d’Ivoire and Egypt and thanking ACUD for its swift facilitation of the agreement.
Ambassador Dole highlighted the NAC’s impressive urban development, including modern infrastructure and high living standards, and affirmed the strategic importance of the embassy’s new location within the distinguished Diplomatic District. Similarly, Khaled Abbas expressed gratitude towards the ambassador and remarked on the increasing presence of embassies in the NAC, which enhances its reputation as a significant diplomatic hub.
The master plan for the New Administrative Capital’s initial phase designates the Diplomatic District for all foreign embassies and diplomatic missions, with the goal of creating a centralized, state-of-the-art diplomatic environment. This latest agreement with Côte d’Ivoire reflects ACUD’s ongoing commitment to attract diplomatic missions to the New Capital, building on previous agreements, such as that with the Embassy of Algeria.
In conclusion, the agreement between ACUD and the Embassy of Côte d’Ivoire represents a significant step in enhancing diplomatic relations and infrastructure within the New Administrative Capital. The relocation to the Diplomatic District underscores the strengths of the NAC in supporting modern diplomatic missions and reflects the increasing interest of embassies in establishing a presence in this advanced urban center.
