PA and the Principality have responded to the flooding in Pakistan - they're sending 100,000 euro from their "Aide Humanitaire d'Urgence" budget; the money will be administered by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Funny connection you've made

but the pic shows them during dinner
the evening before the other picture at the conference was taken. See my
previous post for that

Today, September 24, Prince Albert has been back in Monaco and visited the
International Monaco Yacht Show at Port Hercules. The thing he holds in his
hands is the scale model of the 'Planet Solar Turanor' yacht he is standing
on, the world largest ship working on solar power.
