民國69年4月5日蔣中正總統逝世5周年象牙海岸華僑趙同達先生捐贈。
全名象牙海岸共和國(République de Côte d'Ivoire),是位於西非的國家,曾是最繁盛的西非熱帶國家之一,但由於政治腐敗,加上缺乏改革,國內的騷動、內戰頻仍,致使經濟一蹶不振。象牙海岸僅有4%的人口不是非洲人,大多是法國、英國和西班牙的公民,還有來自美國和加拿大的新教傳教士,華人在當地佔極少數。
象牙海岸共和國的國徽中有一隻白象,加上國名讓人感覺當地以產象牙為主,事實上該國經濟是以農產品為主,尤其是可可和咖啡是最大的兩宗。
Mr. Zhao Tongda, an overseas Chinese living in Ivory Coast, donated this ivory on the fifth anniversary of the death of Chiang Kai-shek, April 5, 1980.
Ivory Coast, officially République of Côte d'Ivoire, is a country in West Africa. It was one of the most prosperous tropical countries in West Africa; however, but because of political corruptions, coupled with the lack of reform, the country has experienced frequent domestic unrests and civil wars, resulting in economic devastated. Non-Africans accounted for 4% of the Ivoirian population, mostly French, British and Spanish citizens, as well as Protestant missionaries from the United States and Canada. Chinese accounted for a very small part of the population of the country.
The national emblem of République of Côte d'Ivoire has an image of white elephant, in addition to the name of the country, makes people feel the country produces mainly ivory. In fact, the economy supplies mainly agricultural products, particularly cocoa and coffee.
