The Directorate General of State Protocol (DGPE) in Burkina Faso has officially introduced the E-Protocole platform to the diplomatic corps and representatives of international organizations accredited in the country. This digital platform is designed to streamline and expedite the processing of requests from diplomatic missions and international organizations. The launch was announced by Minister and Director General of State Protocol, Camarade Robert COMPAORÉ.
The E-Protocole platform offers several innovations, including a new generation of diplomatic cards that now includes a valuable feature: the card will serve as a title of residence. This enhancement provides a legal safeguard, as the card will have a written mention on the back specifying its validity as a residence permit. This development aims to simplify the process for diplomats and reduce the administrative burden.
Minister Camarade Robert COMPAORÉ emphasized the importance of the diplomatic corps' participation in significant national events, including official ceremonies and major national gatherings. He encouraged diplomats to attend these events, particularly when they are held under the high patronage of President Captain Ibrahim TRAORÉ. The minister highlighted the significance of these events in showcasing the nation's life and development.
The Ambassador of the Republic of Mali, S.E.M. Issouf Omar MAÏGA, speaking on behalf of the diplomatic corps, welcomed the recognition of the diplomatic card as a title of residence. He noted that the E-Protocole platform will significantly alleviate the daily workload of diplomatic missions in obtaining official documents. The ambassador expressed appreciation for the initiative and its potential to enhance the efficiency of diplomatic services.

The ambassador reiterated the commitment of the diplomatic community to work closely with the Burkinabè people and the government. The launch of the E-Protocole platform is seen as a positive step towards strengthening the relationship between the government and the diplomatic corps.
The E-Protocole platform is part of Burkina Faso's efforts to modernize its diplomatic services and enhance the experience of diplomatic missions. The platform is expected to improve the efficiency and transparency of the application process for diplomatic cards and airport access cards.
