Led by Colonel Doctor Lamine OUEDRAOGO, the ASVOVIG delegation presented the agency’s missions, which were created to unify and coordinate solidarity efforts for these vulnerable groups.
Minister SANA praised the importance of ASVOVIG, which strengthens the support for war victims while honoring the memory of the heroes who fell for the country. Emphasizing the need to support the agency’s initiatives, he stated, “The Ministry of Security is ready to support ASVOVIG so that it can carry out its missions as effectively as possible”.
