Honoured to welcome Céline Malraux as we mark 50 years of the passing of many-faceted intellectual André Malraux. Deeply inspired by India and Asia, he saw culture as vital to human dignity and freedom.

I look forward to hosting Malraux Marg Talks, a new series of conversations.

A la mairie de Saint-André, j’ai eu le plaisir d’aller à la rencontre des responsables associatifs et de compatriotes d’origine indienne.

Merci au maire Joé Bédier de son invitation qui me permet de mesurer la densité des liens qui unissent les Réunionnais à l’Inde.
