Colonel Michaël Randrianirina arrived in Libreville last Friday to hold talks with President Oligui Nguema.
This meeting is part of efforts to strengthen ties of friendship and cooperation between Gabon and Madagascar. The President of the Refoundation of the Republic of Madagascar carried out a 48-hour working and friendship visit to Libreville. During his stay, the Malagasy leader was received in audience at the Palais Rénovation by President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema. Discussions focused on enhancing bilateral cooperation and the refoundation process underway in Madagascar.
On this occasion, the Malagasy delegation attended a presentation by Professor Guy Rossatanga-Rignault on the key stages of Gabon’s transition and the principles that guided the return to constitutional order. The President of Gabon reaffirmed his country’s willingness to support Madagascar in its institutional restoration process.
For his part, the Malagasy president intends to draw inspiration from Gabon’s experience in governance and institutional consolidation. At the end of their talks, both heads of state expressed satisfaction with the excellent relations between Gabon and Madagascar. It is worth recalling that in October 2025, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina took power in Madagascar following massive youth protests against former president Andry Rajoelina, triggered by severe water and electricity shortages.
