After the audience, the Congo’s diplomat highlighted the complicity and convergence of views that unite the two heads of state on major continental issues.
“Through their pan-africanist vocation, Mr. Denis Sassou N’Guesso and his brother, President Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé regularly consult on crucial matters affecting our continent, including peace and security concerns. It is in this spirit that we were sent to Lomé to gather the President’s views on these issues,” said Constant-Serge Bounda.
