This week, Queen Mathilde is undertaking a working visit to Côte d’Ivoire in her role as Advocate for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). She arrived in Côte d’Ivoire on Sunday evening and was welcomed by Nialé Kaba, Minister for Economy.

On Monday, Queen Mathilde met with President Alassane Dramane Ouatarra and First Lady Dominique Ouatarra.

Afterward, Queen Mathilde and the First Lady visited the Hôpital Mère-Enfant in Bingerville to learn more about their work with vulnerable mothers and their children, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality among mothers, newborns, children, and adolescents.

She then visited the Cavoequiva NGO where she met girls who have been victims of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, or labor exploitation, and who are housed, cared for, and educated by the organization.

Queen Mathilde also took part in a round table discussion at Félix Houphouët-Boigny-Cocody University with young people who are actively committed to Ivorian youth and a more sustainable world.

On Sunday, Queen Mathilde wore an Aarong jacket (with thanks to GardeRobeRoyale) with a yellow outfit. She also wore her Penelope Chilvers wedges, her Clio Goldbrenner clutch, Sézane earrings, and her Rolex watch.

On Monday, Queen Mathilde wore her Oscar de la Renta dress with nude pumps and a Delvaux clutch (with thanks to GardeRobeRoyale). Later in the day, she changed into her Tod’s loafers. She paired the outfit with her Carolina Herrera earrings and her Rolex watch.
