French president meet Alassane Ouattara amid poll row
French president Emmanuel Macron will on Friday meet his Ivory Coast counterpart Alassane Ouattara in Paris.
Mr Ouattara’s decision to run for a third term as president in October’s election has sparked tension and protests in the country.
He had initially ruled out running for re-election, but reconsidered following the death of his preferred successor prime minister Amadou Gon Coulibaly.
His opponents say a third-term bid is unconstitutional.
