The diplomatic reception also offered guests a “taste” of Monaco through gift bags filled with products from the Principality.
On 10 July 2026, H.E. Mr Lorenzo Ravano, Monaco’s Ambassador to Germany, hosted a reception at the Waldorf Astoria Berlin in honour of the 21st anniversary of the accession of H.S.H.
