Culture is not merely a collection of traditions, languages, arts and values. It is also the crucible of a country's identity, the fuel of its unity and the showcase of its shared heritage. It is through culture that a nation speaks to the world and sustains its solidarity and respect for its diversity.
Culture can be a driver of our country's economic development.
We commit to preserving our cultural heritage, protecting it, promoting it and celebrating it through the creation of a national festival of Ivorian cultures.
