During this meeting, the religious leaders expressed their thanks to the PAA’s General Management for its commitment. Thanks to this assistance, they are able to fully carry out their spiritual missions for workers and the faithful, thereby contributing to a climate of serenity and social cohesion.

"We express our deep gratitude for your support of the religious community at Abidjan Port Authority. This assistance allows us to continue working for peace and harmony on the port platform," stated the Very Reverend Pastor Pierre AKA AMON.

As 2025 marks a major electoral year with the presidential election, the delegation offered special prayers for national stability, the smooth running of activities at Abidjan Port Authority, and social peace.

In return, the Managing Director of PAA welcomed this initiative and reaffirmed his commitment to maintaining a close collaboration with the various religious denominations present on the port platform.
