Human connections are important in international relations because they can help build trust, generate stability, promote understanding, build trust and soft power, acknowledge and respect their common humanity, understand and conduct interstate relations, bring together diverse groups that share a common goal, and increase and expand their influence at different levels.

In times like this, bilateral relations between Bouake and the rest of the world are a crucial aspect of their mutual ability to overcome new challenges and transform their economic, diplomatic, and cultural cooperation by reshaping their strategic collaboration with society.

Placing the bilateral relations center stage and economic cooperation as the context entails reinforcing the region’s long history in the business and government domains, based on the vision that what is truly significant is building strong business and human connections as the sources of shared growth and opportunity development for the next 200 years.

With a burning belief in the power of current and future generations of leaders to drive positive transformation for Africa and the State of Israel, the Bouake Council on Global Affairs is committed to promoting, fostering, and advancing economic development, trade cooperation, and capital investment in Bouake.

We strongly believe that humans and businesses that constitute both the region of Bouake present a unique opportunity to forge long-term diplomatic and economic partnerships and build strategic collaborations in which everybody wins.

We strongly proclaim that the reinforcement of Bouake and the rest of the world through the Bouake Council on Global Affairs economic relations and deepening cross-border connections will lead to economic growth, technological innovation, capital investment, and win-win partnership developments.
