On the joint initiative of H.E. Mr Lorenzo Ravano, Ambassador of Monaco to Germany (also accredited to Austria and Poland), and Mr Christian Dorda, Honorary Consul of Monaco in Vienna, the Embassy of Monaco held its regular consular meeting on 30 May 2025 in the Austrian capital.

These meetings always prove very worthwhile, as they provide an opportunity for friendly and informative discussions on the latest developments in the Principality and its bilateral relations with these three countries while enabling the Embassy to outline its strategic vision for the coming year.

The intense political climate (Germany's snap elections, a new government in Austria and the presidential elections in Poland) sparked interesting discussions on the political, social and economic situation.

In addition, the trip provided an opportunity for delegates to meet with the German International Club of Monaco since around thirty of its members also travelled to the Austrian capital. The delegates benefited from a comprehensive cultural programme, including tours of historic imperial and royal courts, visits to Schönbrunn Palace and the Liechtenstein Palace, and a performance of Verdi's Opera Il Trovatore at the legendary Vienna State Opera House. The trip also featured a gala dinner in the Marble Hall of the iconic Hotel Sacher.
