Colonel Michaël Randrianirina arrived in Libreville last Friday to hold talks with President Oligui Nguema.
This meeting is part of efforts to deepen friendship and cooperation between Gabon and Madagascar. The President of the Refoundation of the Republic of Madagascar undertook a forty-eight-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 strengthening 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 the Republic reaffirmed Gabon’s readiness to support Madagascar in its own process of restoring institutions.
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 welcomed 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.
