J’ai rejoint X pour répondre. Ce que j’ai lu m’attriste et ne reflète pas ce que j’ai vécu. J’ai aidé à organiser la visite de la tour Eiffel, un lieu que j’aime. Beaucoup de visiteurs étaient là et, à ma connaissance, personne n’a été empêché d’y accéder. La photo en témoigne.

Happy Easter from Elephant Family 🐘💚 Why not join The Elephant Trail this Easter at Battersea Power Station, on until 26 April. Follow the trail on the app, discover all 21 sculptures, and even bid for the chance to take one home, all while supporting wildlife conservation.

Honoured to spend time with the @Office_ChJayant Really has been brilliant to see how we further our partnership on outcomes-based finance approaches in India and the drive and foresight generated in this space by the Minister.
Hon’ble MoS Shri Jayant Chaudhary met Hiten Mehta, CEO of the British Asian Trust, on the sidelines of the Outcomes Finance Alliance Summit 2026 in Cape Town. The discussion explored opportunities to deepen engagement on outcomes-based financing approaches and expand partnerships supporting innovation in skills development and education. @GovernmentZA @hci_pretoria #OutcomesFinanceSummit #SkillIndia #GlobalPartnerships #ViksitBharat2047
