Rotary and the Government of Côte d'Ivoire took advantage of the ceremony to work together for the restoration of peace in our country.
In the words of Minister Bandaman "culture can lead men to see each other as brothers by sharing their emotions of joy and sorrow." With the help of the Rotary Club Elixir, we can extend the comprehensive program government. Among these programs will be the creation of new regional directorates of culture, so as to cover all the 31 regions of Côte d'Ivoire.
During this ceremony, a conference was called by Professor Amoa Urban, Doctor of Arts, Rector of the University Charles Louis Montesquieu and initiator of the festival "Route des Reines et Rois" (See CPNN, September 11, 2011) ). The speaker made a presentation on "Diplomacy, Custom and the Culture of Peace in Africa." Through diplomatic culture, we can achieve peace.
Minister Zakpa Komenan on behalf of the President of the Economic and Social Council whom he represented, presented his best wishes for the New Year. He expressed the wish for reconciliation all Ivorians. The representative of President Zadi KESSY suggest to all Ivorian that they dig deep within themselves to find the force needed to move beyond their differences.

* * * * *
Commentaire le plus récent:
CPNN has often carried articles about establishing a culture of peace at the level of the city, but there are also some advantages to promoting a culture of peace at a somewhat broader regional level.
In particular, the culture of peace needs to be based on a sustainable economy, which, in the long run, should depend on local agricultural production more than imported food. This requires that the unit for the culture of peace include not only the city, but also the agricultural region surrounding it.
