Colonel Michaël Randrianirina will soon make his first steps at the United Nations General Assembly as Madagascar's head of state. He is expected in New York for the 81st session of the General Assembly, with the high-level general debate running from September 22-26, followed by a final day on September 28. During this major diplomatic sequence, world leaders will take turns at the podium to present their priorities and defend their countries' positions. For now, the date and time of Michaël Randrianirina's intervention have not yet been included in the detailed speakers' program. The schedule of the Malagasy delegation's visit has not been made public either. However, a meeting between the head of state and members of the Malagasy diaspora in the United States is announced for September 23. This deadline suggests a departure from Madagascar in the coming days, possibly toward the end of the week. For the Great Island, this General Assembly comes at a highly symbolic time. September 25 will mark the first anniversary of the outbreak of the 2025 demonstrations, the starting point of a crisis that would overturn Madagascar's political order. Initially fueled by daily hardships, particularly recurring water and electricity cuts, the mobilization quickly gained momentum. The protest subsequently evolved into the political rupture of October and Michaël Randrianirina's arrival at the helm of the state. Twelve months later, the context is completely different. The man at the heart of the political shift is now preparing to officially represent Madagascar before the international community. New York will thus be an important milestone for the Refoundation authorities, engaged for nearly a year in a transition aimed at reshaping the country's institutions and political functioning. This first participation by Michaël Randrianirina in the General Assembly will therefore be particularly closely watched, notably for the content of his intervention. The head of state will have the opportunity to present the trajectory undertaken since his rise to power, as well as the directions he intends to defend for Madagascar. Political dialogue, institutional reforms and upcoming electoral deadlines should notably remain in the background. The president will also be able to bring to the podium the concerns of a country facing significant economic and social challenges. Climate change, development, food security, energy and financing are among the international issues that directly affect Madagascar.
