Gabon's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hermann Immongault (also known as Bergès Miette), has affirmed that Gabon is firmly on a path of continuity with France. In a statement reported on July 20, 2026, Miette emphasized that this trajectory is both displayed and assumed by the Gabonese government.
The remarks come amid ongoing discussions about the relationship between Gabon and its former colonial power. Miette's comments suggest a desire to maintain stable diplomatic and economic ties, despite recent political changes in the region.
Gabon has historically maintained close ties with France, which remains a key economic partner and investor. The continuity mentioned by Miette likely refers to the ongoing cooperation in areas such as defense, trade, and cultural exchange.
No further details were available from the original source, which is behind a paywall. The statement aligns with Gabon's recent foreign policy direction under the transitional government following the 2023 coup.
