Charlotte Baris: Lately, the president’s diplomatic schedule has been particularly busy. Here, let’s take last weekend.
Thursday November 9 at 10 a.m.: organization of a humanitarian conference for Gaza. 2 p.m.: meeting with several representatives of heads of state from the Caucasus, notably Nikol Pashinian, Armenian Prime Minister. 8 p.m.: dinner with heads of state and directors of international organizations who came to Paris for the peace forum.
And it’s just as full the next day, Friday November 10. 9:30 a.m.: opening speech of said forum. Noon: lunch with the Prime Minister of Norway. 4 p.m.: participation in the fifth summit against digital terrorism with Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand.
And in the middle of all this, there is another important event that you may have missed. The President of the Republic also gave a speech at the Natural History Museum in Paris to launch “the Paris appeal on the poles and glaciers”.
Under the glaciers, new lands to protect?
