H.E. Ms. Valérie Bruell-Melchior, the newly appointed Ambassador of the Principality of Monaco to the Principality of Andorra, officially presented her Letters of Credence to Mr. Emmanuel Macron, Co-Prince of Andorra and President of France, at a formal ceremony held at the Élysée Palace. This significant occasion marked her accreditation as the representative of Monaco to Andorra, with her base of residence being in France.

The ceremony was attended by key dignitaries, including Mr. Patrick Strzoda, Representative of the French Co-Prince, and Ms. Imma Tor Faus, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Andorra. During the presentation, Ambassador Bruell-Melchior expressed her commitment to further strengthening the diplomatic relations between Monaco and Andorra. She highlighted the importance of the strong ties that have historically united the two principalities and emphasized her dedication to maintaining and enhancing this bond.

A recent milestone in Monaco-Andorra relations was noted—the inauguration of Monaco’s first Consulate in Andorra in September 2024, a step that signifies the growing connection and cooperation between the two nations.

The next step in Ambassador Bruell-Melchior’s diplomatic mission will involve presenting her Letters of Credence to Monsignor Joan-Enric Vives i Sicília, the Archbishop of Urgell and Episcopal Co-Prince of Andorra. This presentation is scheduled to take place at a later date, further cementing her role as a key figure in fostering the relationship between Monaco and Andorra.
