Secretary General Alain Berset will pay an official visit to the Republic of San Marino (31 March–1 April) on the occasion of the Investiture Ceremony of Their Excellencies the Captains Regent.

Alain Berset will be the Official Speaker in Palazzo Valloni, where he will deliver a speech.

In addition, a bilateral meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Political Affairs, International Economic Co-operation and Digital Transformation Luca Beccari, and an audience with the outgoing Captains Regent Matteo Rossi and Lorenzo Bugli will take place.

San Marino, a member of the Council of Europe since 1988, represents a unique model of democracy based upon civic autonomy and self-government with a firm belief in multilateral cooperation.

Prior to the official visit to San Marino, the Secretary General will be at the community of San Patrignano in Coriano (Rimini, Italy): a rehabilitation centre providing support and expert guidance to people suffering drug addiction and marginalisation.

San Patrignano is a key partner in advancing innovative approaches to addiction treatment within the Pompidou Group.
