the Swiss ambassador who criss-crosses France and Monaco by bike
Roberto Balzaretti is going to meet the regions of France, until December 2023.
It is not common to see ambassadors on bicycles. However, last week, the Swiss Ambassador to France and Monaco made a trip to the Principality on his bicycle!
Roberto Balzaretti undertook this initiative in March 2022. Its objective is to cycle through the French regions to meet local actors and discover the territories more freely and easily. Of the 12 routes planned, the Ambassador was in his sixth last week. Leaving Marseille last Monday, he criss-crossed the Côte Bleue and the Côte d’Azur before reaching Monaco on Friday.

Monaco and Switzerland: two similar States
In the Principality, Roberto Balzaretti announces that he wants cooperation in general, but above all scientific, between the Principality and Switzerland.
” The two small States that we are in the world need international law, multilateralism. There, the convergences are almost because we are perfect in the same way in the protection of the environment, in sustainability and in the protection of natural resources which are rare for both. You have access to the Mediterranean, we don’t. But we have access to glacier water which is in danger explained Roberto Balzaretti at the microphone of Monaco Info.
