French President Emmanuel Macron will meet Cote d’ Ivoire President Alassane Ouattara on Friday at the Elysee Palace in Paris, his office said on Thursday.

According to a Reuters report, Ouattara said in early August he would seek re-election in October, formally accepting the ruling party’s nomination to be its candidate and defying opponents who say the constitution forbids a third term.
