During his tenure in Monaco, Mr. Dartout enabled the Principality to navigate the health crisis while supporting long-term goals of sustainable development, digital transition, attractiveness, and administrative modernisation. His Serene Highness will soon pay tribute to the qualities with which he has fulfilled his mission.”
