Monaco’s Ambassador to Andorra, Valérie Bruell-Melchior, has officially presented her credentials to Archbishop Joan-Enric Vives i Sicília, the Episcopal Co-Prince of Andorra. The formal ceremony took place in the Throne Room of the Episcopal Palace in La Seu d’Urgell, the residence of the Co-Prince.

The event on 29th November was attended by Imma Tor Faus, Andorra’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Josep Maria Mauri Prior, the Co-Prince’s personal representative. Following the credential presentation, a private meeting was held between Archbishop Vives i Sicília and Ambassador Bruell-Melchior.

During their discussion, the Co-Prince extended his greetings to Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene, along with well-wishes for Prince Hereditary Jacques and Princess Gabriella. The meeting also provided an opportunity to reaffirm the strong ties between Monaco and Andorra, which are built on mutual values and friendship.

Both principalities maintain close collaboration, particularly following the signing of a General Cooperation Memorandum in 2022 that has further strengthened bilateral relations.
