A declaration of intent between the two Ministers of Culture, MARA Volamiranty Donna and Rachida Dati, marked a turning point in the exchanges between heritage professionals of both countries. On the occasion of President Emmanuel Macron's State visit to Madagascar, on April 23–24, during the State Visit and the 5th Summit of the Indian Ocean Commission, the Malagasy and French governments formalized a new phase of collaboration focused on the preservation and enhancement of cultural heritage. This dynamic is part of a broader strategy of cultural diplomacy.
