On January 13th 2025, members of the IHEDN (Institut des Hautes Etudes de Défense Nationale), a French public administrative body specialising in defence expertise and awareness-raising visited our terminal. This visit’s main goal was to understand the significant role of ports activities in Djibouti’s economic advancement by visiting our state-of-the-art facilities accompanied by a comprehensive presentation of the terminal’s position in the regional context and international trade at large.
