Bruno Fuchs held a press conference yesterday at the French embassy. Nine months after the October 2025 political shift, Paris is observing Madagascar, taking its pulse, and clearly seeking to redefine the contours of a relationship that is no longer one-sided. After a week in Madagascar, Bruno Fuchs, president of the French National Assembly's Foreign Affairs Commission, is calling for cooperation more focused on the needs of the population, while accepting Antananarivo's rapprochement with Moscow. "We need intelligent, effective and useful partnership," the French MP stressed yesterday before the press at the French embassy in Ambatomena. For him, the relationship between the two countries can no longer be reduced to historical proximity. It must produce concrete results. This visit, Fuchs' second to Madagascar in 2026 after November 2025, aimed notably to assess Franco-Malagasy partnership since the October 2025 political upheaval. Over a week, the Foreign Affairs Commission president met with the head of state, ministers, business leaders and employees involved in various development projects. Health, investments
