From July 18 to 22, the Consulate of Côte d’Ivoire in Laayoune is conducting a special operation to issue and renew biometric passports for members of its community. A technical team from Abidjan has traveled to the city to facilitate administrative procedures for around 150 nationals. The initiative has been welcomed by the Ivorian diaspora, which numbers nearly 12,000 people across Morocco’s southern provinces.
