France’s foreign minister will pay his first visit to Myanmar later this week, the French Embassy in Yangon said.
French Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Development Jean-Marc Ayrault will make the first official visit by a French government representative since the landslide victory by the opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) last November brought to power the first civilian government in more than half a century.
Sonia Tebbakh, the first secretary at the French embassy, told The Myanmar Times that the purpose of the visit, which will last from June 17 to June 19, would be to show France’s support for the new government and announce how it intends to aid it in the coming years. (Courtesy of thediplomat.com)
