Le Représentant Résident du Président de la Commission de la CEDEAO au Cabo Verde, l’Ambassadeur Samuel Lamptey, a rendu une visite de courtoisie, le mardi 5 septembre 2023, à l’Ambassadeur de la République de l’Inde auprès de la République du Cabo Verde, l’Ambassadeur Sanjeev JAI. L’Ambassadeur Samuel Lamptey est allé présenter ses compliments au premier Ambassadeur de la République de l’Inde à résider dans la République du Cabo Verde.

Au cours de la visite, les deux Ambassadeurs ont pu discuter de questions importantes concernant les relations entre l’Inde et la CEDEAO, en particulier les relations avec la République du Cabo Verde.

Le Représentant Résident du Président de la Commission de la CEDEAO au Cabo Verde a félicité la République de l’Inde pour le renforcement des relations avec la CEDEAO, en particulier avec la République du Cabo Verde. Il a présenté les domaines de collaboration potentielle avec le Cabo Verde, en mettant l’accent sur le secteur agricole, et a encouragé l’Ambassadeur Sanjeev JAI à aider le Cabo Verde dans ce domaine, en particulier l’île de Santo Antão.

L’île de Santo Antão comprend trois (3) municipalités, toutes fortement agricoles, et ce soutien pourrait être destiné à la création de petites entreprises agricoles.

Pour sa part, l’Ambassadeur Sanjeev JAI a souligné qu’avant l’ouverture de l’Ambassade de l’Inde au Cabo Verde, ces deux pays entretenaient déjà des relations amicales qui seront encore renforcées avec une Représentation Permanente.

L’ambassadeur Sanjeev JAI a également souligné le dialogue qui a eu lieu en Inde en octobre dernier entre l’Afrique et l’Inde, rapprochant l’Inde de l’Afrique et des partenariats dans des domaines clés.

En marge de la visite, d’autres questions ont été abordées, telles que le potentiel de l’Inde en termes de technologie, de ressources humaines, de renforcement des capacités et de transformation énergétique.

  1. Lamptey a également félicité le peuple indien pour son récent exploit dans l’espace au mois d’août 2023.

H.E. GENERAL BIRAME DIOP AND HON. JUSTICE RICARDO CLÁUDIO MON-TEIRO GONÇALVES ADVANCE A SHARED VISION FOR STRONGER INSTITUTI-ONS, RULE OF LAW AND REGIONAL INTEGRATION The President of the ECOWAS Commission, H.E. General Birame Diop, and the President of the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice, Hon. Justice Ricardo Cláudio Monteiro Gonçalves, have reaf-firmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation among ECOWAS institutions, promoting the rule of law and advancing regional integration during the Commission President’s official visit to the Court in Abuja. The meeting underscored a shared determination to reinforce institutional effectiveness, democratic governance and citizen-centred development as key pillars of the ECO-WAS Vision 2050. Addressing members of the Court and the Commission delegation, H.E. General Birame Diop emphasized that ECOWAS stands at a critical juncture in its history and must collectively res-pond to the challenges facing the region across the areas of integration, peace and security, governance, democracy and sustainable development. He stressed that strong institutions remain indispensable to the success of the regional project and called for closer collaboration among the Community’s principal organs while preserving their respective mandates and inde-pendence. The President of the Commission further highlighted the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between the executive, judicial and legislative institutions of ECOWAS. Drawing a pa-rallel with the governance structures of modern states, he noted that effective regional gover-nance depends on institutions that are independent, credible and capable, while working toge-ther in pursuit of a common objective: the prosperity, stability and well-being of the peoples of West Africa. In his remarks, Hon. Justice Ricardo Cláudio Monteiro Gonçalves welcomed the Commission President to the Court and expressed confidence that the new leadership of the Commission would provide renewed momentum to the Community and its institutions. He underscored the importance of solidarity, fraternity and mutual support among ECOWAS institutions, noting that a stronger Community can only be built through closer cooperation and a shared com-mitment to serving the citizens of the region. The President of the Court also reaffirmed the judiciary’s readiness to contribute to the realiza-tion of the Community’s objectives and praised the Commission President’s distinguished in-ternational experience and leadership credentials. He expressed optimism that the new man-date would further strengthen the foundations of regional integration and enhance the effec-tiveness of ECOWAS in addressing the expectations of its Member States and citizens. The discussions highlighted a strong convergence of views on the central role of the rule of law, institutional dialogue and mutual respect in advancing the ECOWAS integration agenda. Both leaders emphasized that independent institutions are not instruments of competition but part-ners in a common endeavour to build a more peaceful, democratic, prosperous and resilient West Africa. The visit further provided an opportunity for both institutions to reaffirm their commitment to deeper engagement, stronger coordination and continuous dialogue in support of the Commu-nity’s strategic priorities. It also reflected a shared understanding that the success of ECOWAS depends not only on the strength of its institutions but also on their ability to work collectively in delivering tangible benefits to the citizens they serve.
