Open to all, but no foreign interference. That was the message Michael Randrianirina delivered in Brussels on Thursday, September 10, before members of the Malagasy diaspora. The head of state defended a foreign policy aimed at multiplying international partnerships while preserving Madagascar's interests and sovereignty. "The government of the Refondation's international relations policy must open to all countries so that the Malagasy people can benefit from it," Michael Randrianirina declared, according to a presidential statement. In this strategy, Europe holds a special place. The leader of the Refondation emphasized the importance of relations between Madagascar and the European Union, particularly to encourage investments and mobilize more diaspora resources. But Brussels does not mean abandoning Moscow. Michael Randrianirina also reaffirmed the importance of cooperation with Russia. "Even if Madagascar's relations with the European Union must in no way be minimized, this does not mean we must neglect our relations with the Russian Federation," he explained. According to Michael Randrianirina, "Russia is among the partners contributing to development and project implementation in Madagascar." He also cited its role in security and aid. The government intends to maintain relations with different partners, both European and Russian, based on the country's interests. However, this diplomatic openness has a clearly stated limit: national sovereignty. "The Refondation must in no way allow any foreign power whatsoever to interfere in Madagascar's internal affairs," he affirmed. The message to the diaspora thus reflects a dual ambition: attracting more investments and external support while asserting Madagascar's freedom in its political and diplomatic choices.
