Ms. Fatimetou Mint Abdel Maleck, Chairperson of the Nouakchott Regional Council, left Nouakchott, on Friday evening, for France to respond to an invitation from the President of the European Institute of Ecology to participate in activities commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the institute. The Chairperson of the Nouakchott Regional Council is expected to sign a partnership agreement with the city of Metz in the area of access to drinking water in the middle of next week, thanks to the efforts of the Institute, which has privileged ties with the regional council of Nouakchott in the area of knowledge exchange, particularly in terms of sustainable development and environmental protection. During her 1-week visit, Ms. Fatimetou Mint Abdel Malec will also have contacts with certain partners of the regional council of Nouakchott to examine the means likely to develop cooperation in all fields.
