However, gold exports have also witnessed a surge in the last few years. Ouagadougou is the capital of Burkina Faso and also the largest city in the country. It is a political, cultural, administrative, and economic centre of the country. If anyone staying in Burkina Faso is exploring opportunities in a foreign country, either for a job, higher studies, or even for setting up a new business venture, he/she must get all the documents attested.
