Colonel Randrianirina has returned from Chad after responding to an invitation from his Chadian counterpart. Strengthening bilateral relations and mobilizing the Malagasy diaspora were at the heart of Colonel Michaël Randrianirina's, head of state, visit to N'Djamena, Chad. A meeting was notably organized with around twenty Malagasy nationals established in the country. "The diaspora is a force for Madagascar. Its skills must be better valued," emphasized the president of the Refoundation. Beyond this exchange, the visit also aims to boost economic and professional exchanges between Madagascar and Chad. The circulation of skills and the sharing of experiences were presented as levers to strengthen Madagascar's presence on the African continent. The visit program was also marked by participation in celebrations of Chad's 66th independence anniversary yesterday in N'Djamena. Colonel Michaël Randrianirina responded to an invitation from Marshal Idriss Mahamat, president of Chad, alongside General Horta N'Tam, president of Guinea-Bissau. The president of the Refoundation presented this meeting as an opportunity to "strengthen intra-African cooperation," adding that "the Chadian president is willing to visit Madagascar to exchange and identify cooperation avenues between the two countries."
