French Ambassador Bids Farewell

French Ambassador Eric de la Moussaye bid Barbados "adieu" earlier this week and was the beneficiary of much praise on behalf of his country.

This came during his farewell call on Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator Maxine McClean, at her Culloden Road, St. Michael office.

In commending Mr. de la Moussaye on his stint that commenced in September 2015, the Foreign Affairs Minister, said: "It was a very short involvement but I am sure your successor will continue... We also believe that as we engage in cooperation with France, we also look to work with Martinique and Guadeloupe in particular. I think as partners there are opportunities for us to collaborate in the same kinds of areas, whether it is cultural services or education."
