Monaco Champions the Rule of Law in Europe

Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene hosted ambassadors and permanent representatives from the 46 member states of the Council of Europe at the Prince's Palace during the Monegasque Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. Held in conjunction with the 1567th meeting of the Ministers' Deputies, the gathering underscored Monaco's ongoing commitment to multilateralism, dialogue, and the rule of law.

During his address, Prince Albert II emphasized the vital role played by the Council of Europe and its mechanisms in addressing the collective challenges confronting European societies amid a complex international climate defined by profound instability. Following the address, the princely couple posed in the Cour d'Honneur of the Palace alongside participants, including Alain Berset, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, and Tanja Gonggrijp, Deputy Secretary General.
