The ceremony took place on November 7, 2026, and was attended by Alexis N'guessan-Zékré, representative of the Minister of Communication, Amadou Coulibaly. The new ambassadors were chosen from 70 personalities proposed by cooptation from localities including Oumé, Lakota, Divo, Maféré, and Gagnoa.

According to the President of the CRP, Ambassador Ambroise Kessié, the quest for peace requires more workers who believe in peace. He stated that this is why the CRP du Goh sought to distinguish new ambassadors for the benefit of the region.

The President of the Fédération pour la paix universelle (FPU), Aka Sayé Lazare, emphasized that his institution is committed to seeing peace definitively installed in Côte d'Ivoire. He stated that the FPU has a duty to intervene wherever peace is threatened to calm tensions. The FPU's primary responsibility is to sow peace in the hearts of Ivorians, and it has responded to the CRP du Goh's call to support the distinction of new ambassadors.

Aka Sayé Lazare called on the population of Gagnoa to support the work of peace alongside the President of the CRP, Ambassador Ambroise Kessié. He urged them to help spread peace in their communities, which would contribute to the region's development.

He emphasized the need for them to come together to discuss peace and construction. N'guessan-Zékré highlighted the history of Gagnoa, which was built by its founding fathers, including his grandfather, N'guessan-Zékré, a former chief of province.

N'guessan-Zékré pleaded with the younger generations to continue the vision of peace and ensure that Gagnoa remains a welcoming and harmonious community. He stressed that Gagnoa is a barometer of peace in Côte d'Ivoire and that its people must work together to maintain this reputation.
