In a formal ceremony steeped in tradition, the newly appointed European Union ambassador to Chad, Amador Sanchez Rico, officially presented his credentials to President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno on May 19. The event unfolded at the Palais Toumaï, with dignitaries in attendance, including the Minister Delegate to the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Fatimé Aldjineh Garfa, who oversees African integration and Chadian nationals abroad.

The ambassador was accompanied by key diplomatic staff: Sona Jarosova, Head of the Political Section, and Karl Rawert, Head of Cooperation for the EU Delegation in Chad. The gathering underscored the formal commencement of Ambassador Rico’s three-year mandate in the country.

Beyond mere protocol, the credential presentation embodies a shared commitment between Chad and the European Union to deepen bilateral ties and foster mutually advantageous collaboration. This partnership aims to deliver tangible benefits to the Chadian people through targeted, results-driven initiatives.
