Cote d'ivoire new name

You're referring to the country formerly known as the Ivory Coast!

In 1985, the country's name was officially changed from "Côte d'Ivoire" to "République de Côte d'Ivoire" (Republic of Côte d'Ivoire) in French, and "Ivory Coast" in English. The name change was made to emphasize the country's African identity and to distance itself from the colonial legacy.

However, in 2020, the country's government announced plans to change the name of the country to "La République de la Côte d'Ivoire - République de l'Émergence" (The Republic of Côte d'Ivoire - The Republic of Emergence) in French, and "Ivory Coast - The Republic of Emergence" in English.

The name change is part of a broader effort to rebrand the country and promote its economic and cultural development. The new name is intended to reflect the country's aspirations for growth, innovation, and emergence as a major player on the global stage.

It's worth noting that the name change has not been universally accepted, and some countries and international organizations have not yet recognized the new name.
