The president of the Refoundation was seen off by his close collaborators. "Responding to the invitation of Chad's president, Mahamat Idriss Déby," explained Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, president of the Refoundation, yesterday at Ivato upon his departure, in the presence of senior advisors of the Refoundation and government members. The president of the Refoundation is traveling to Chad to participate in celebrations marking the 66th anniversary of independence, scheduled for today. The trip will also be an opportunity to exchange on relations between the two countries. "It is also a chance to hold discussions on cooperation," he stated. This approach is part of Madagascar's policy of openness "in all directions" toward its partners.
