According to the statement, a technical mission of ECOWAS paid a visit to Guinea from October 16 to 21.
"As a dynamic compromise, experts from ECOWAS and Guinea have jointly developed a comprehensive plan of the transition period of 24 months," the statement, which was published by the office of the Guinean president on Twitter, read.
However, it included no details as to when this period would begin.
In September, the community decided to impose progressive sanctions against Guinean individuals over the military coup that took place last year.
On September 5, 2021, Col. Mamady Doumbouya came to power through a coup in Guinea. The military dismissed the government, abrogated the constitution, and closed borders. Then-President Alpha Conde was arrested and, according to Doumbouya, placed in a safe place under military supervision.
