Pakistan’s Ambassador in Madrid, Spain Zahoor Ahmed has presented credentials as the country’s ambassador concurrently accredited to Andorra to French President Emmanuel Macron here at the Élysée Palace.

Andorra has a special arrangement; it has two Heads of State (Co-Princes which are President of France and Bishop of Urgell). Ambassadors accredited to Andorra are supposed to present credentials to both of them, a press release issued on Saturday said.

President Macron referred to the historic arrangement of having two heads of state by the Principality of Andorra. He said that Andorra was a “unique country” and had visited all seven parishes of Andorra.

He believed that it had a lot to offer. He also referred to the leadership of the country in mountain tourism and financial services.

While presenting his credentials, the ambassador congratulated President Macron on the successful holding of the Paris Olympics.

He conveyed the greetings of the president and the prime minister and also expressed the desire to enhance the relations with Andorra, particularly in mountain tourism, climate change, multilateral forums, education and financial services.

President Macron welcomed the ideas and specially emphasised the importance of cooperation in the field of climate change.
