Receiving credentials from the Ambassador of Cote d'Ivoire, Zady Gbaka Richard, President Mesic said the two countries should strengthen their cooperation, notably in the economy.
During talks with Peruvian Ambassador Gilbert Chauny, President Mesic pointed to the need for the two countries' business communities to establish direct contacts.
Croatian ports could serve as a doorway for Peruvian products not only to the Croatian market but also to the markets of Central and Southeast Europe, Mesic said.
The two sides called for the promotion of bilateral relations which they said could be done by liberalising the visa regime for the bearers of diplomatic and official passports.
