During their visit to Abidjan, the delegation has engaged in institutional meetings with key ministers, including those of Agriculture, Home Affairs, and Digitalization. The focus of these discussions has been on showcasing Leonardo’s technological applications across various sectors such as agriculture, cybersecurity, digitalization, and healthcare.
