Paris, 9 November 2026.—The President of the Republic, H.E. Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, accompanied by the First Lady of the Nation, Mrs Constancia Mangue de Obiang, arrived in Paris on Monday to attend the ninth edition of the Paris Peace Forum, scheduled for 10 and 11 November.
Upon their arrival in the French capital, the Presidential Couple received a warm welcome from Equatorial Guinean citizens living in France, who came to express their affection and welcome them at the start of the visit.
Under the theme “From Sovereignty to Cooperation”, the event at the Palais de Chaillot will bring together political leaders, representatives of international organisations and other members of the international community. Discussions will focus on international peace and security, sustainable development, new technologies and cooperation between States.
Among the new features of this edition is the first Children’s Summit, dedicated to promoting the protection, rights and well-being of children, with particular attention to the challenges arising from digital transformation.
The Head of State’s visit comes just days after UNESCO headquarters hosted the tenth edition of the UNESCO–Equatorial Guinea International Prize for Research in the Life Sciences and the second edition of the Fellowship Programme for Young African Women Scientists.
Both initiatives, funded by Equatorial Guinea, support scientific research and recognise contributions to the well-being of humanity, while encouraging African women’s participation in science.
In a recent interview with the Presidential Press, H.E. Obiang Nguema Mbasogo discussed the objectives and prospects of these programmes. He also raised the possibility of establishing a network of scientists associated with the Prize to strengthen international cooperation and facilitate the exchange of knowledge.
