Milan:The Consulate General of Burkina Faso in Milan has observed an increasing number of inquiries from Italians keen to visit Burkina Faso, as interest in the country grows. Consul General Rose Ouédraogo reported these findings during an interview conducted by Jean-Pierre Boussim, a correspondent from the Burkina Information Agency.

According to Agence d'Information du Burkina, Ouédraogo highlighted that the Burkinabe community in Milan is thriving, describing it as "active, supportive, and well-integrated" within Italian society. Despite challenges related to administrative procedures and access to housing, the community overcomes these issues with mutual support and cooperation with Italian authorities.

Ouédraogo emphasized the commitment of Burkinabè in Milan to their homeland, despite the distance. This dedication is evident in their support for initiatives such as the Patriotic Support Fund and Volunteers for the Defense of the Homeland. She noted that their involvement is crucial for Burkina Faso's development and sovereignty.

Interest in the Popular Progressive Revolution (RPP), announced by President Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has also been noted among the Burkinabe community in Milan. Ouédraogo remarked on the significant diaspora engagement, particularly during events like the Night of the RPP in Ouagadougou.

The arrival of the Patriotic Movement for Safeguarding and Restoration (MPSR) II has reportedly enhanced the image of Burkinabè abroad. Ouédraogo observed a positive shift in perception among Italians and other nationals, with increased interest in Burkina Faso.

In conclusion, Ouédraogo urged Burkinabe living abroad to maintain their connection to their homeland, stressing that building Burkina Faso is a collective responsibility, regardless of geographic location.
