I will therefore strive to be a president who unites. - Kandia Camara

Absolutely, we want to use parliamentary diplomacy to address the right issues. I believe this diplomacy can be a vehicle for strengthening cooperation between countries of the South and also a good instrument for social and economic development, helping to attract prosperity for our populations. You see, this conference is very important, which is why we welcome the massive participation of countries of the South.

This election as Senate president honors me.

I would like to say to my Ivorian sisters that it is true that no one is unaware of the difficulties we are experiencing today. However, we must not despair. There is still hope. And that hope is the upcoming elections. That is why women, who alone represent more than 50% of the Ivorian electorate, must mobilize. They are the ones who will choose the next president of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire. As women, we therefore have a responsibility. And we must assume this responsibility by choosing the person who can alleviate our suffering and lead Côte d'Ivoire out of its difficulties. And this person, just by looking at his record when he was Prime Minister and his current government program, is Dr. Alassane Dramane Ouattara. To women, I say: let us help this gentleman with his expertise and extensive experience to come and help us.
