| Prince Hussain and Prince Aly Muhammad meet with French officials |
Prince Hussain and Prince Aly Muhammad met with the French Minister for Overseas Territories Naïma Moutchou in Paris. The meeting built on the discussions between Mawlana Hazar Imam and French President Emmanuel Macron on 11 July 2025, that included a joint desire to increase support to the Indian Ocean region, particularly in the aftermath of Cyclone Chido, which impacted Mayotte in December 2024.

“This work builds on many decades of AKDN engagement in coastal regions, where environmental restoration, livelihoods, enterprise development, and community resilience must be understood—and practiced—together. The programme being prepared jointly by our teams focuses on the restoration of coastal zones both on oceans and on lands, and additional preservation work of the Mayotte Marine Natural Park. Our shared conviction is that environmental recovery is not separate from human recovery. Healthy ecosystems protect communities, sustain livelihoods, and create the conditions for long-term resilience.” Prince Aly Muhammad, Memorandum of Understanding for the reconstruction of Mayotte, Paris, June 8, 2026 |
