Henry is in Paris, at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron, to participate in the Summit for a New Global Financial Pact, which brings together some 50 heads of State and Government, along with development, private sector and civil society stockholders, to debate on particular development finance, climate and global health.

In addition, the meeting aims to carry out a global financial architecture that will be strong enough to provide more resources and protect vulnerable countries from shocks, with a view to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations.
