Political and Economic relations

Date of update: October 23rd 2026

Political relations

Our relations are essentially embodied in multilateral forums in the field of the environment and the fight against climate change.

Former Marshallese Foreign Minister Tony de Brum (who died in 2017) was an important figure in the negotiations of the Paris Agreement, the main instigator of a 1.5°C target. To honour his memory, at the One Planet Summit on 12 December 2017 in Paris, 34 States signed, at the initiative of France, the “Tony de Brum Declaration”, committing to work for the success of the negotiations at the IMO. 

Economic relations

French companies have not invested in these countries, as all FDI stocks and flows are almost zero. The commercial relationship is almost non-existent, with the exception of a few one-off flows.
