Anne Bouquet also known as Anne Boquet (born March 19, 1952 in Bellac, Haute-Vienne, France) was the High Commissioner of the Republic in French Polynesia (''Le Haut-Commissaire de la République en Polynésie française'') (high commissioner of French Polynesia) from 10 September 2005, when she replaced Jacques Michaut, to 7 July 2008, when she was replaced by Adolphe Colrat. She is the first and only woman to have been a high commissioner to French Polynesia to date.〔 〕〔〔 〕 Bouquet's administration saw unprecedented political instability with the turnover of five successive governments and three separate presidents come and go due to votes of no confidence and party switching by top politicians in French Polynesia. Bouquet's term as High Commissioner in French Polynesia ended with her appointment as Prefect for the metropolitan department of the Yvelines in the Paris region on June 28, 2008.〔〔 She was awarded the grade of Commander of the Order of Tahiti Nui, which is French Polynesia's highest honor, in June 2008 for her service to the country.〔 French Polynesian President Gaston Tong Sang hailed Boquet's term and her action in "restoring dialogue" between French Polynesia and metropolitan France in a speech at the award ceremony.〔 Bouquet stressed the importance of political stability as a precondition for future economic development in her final message before her departure from French Polynesia.〔 "It must absolutely create a more positive climate of confidence for things to move ahead," she stated, "But I'm confident, (French Polynesians) are a strong people, even though the climate is not always easy...I'm confident and I call on (French Polynesians) to have faith in themselves too."〔 She also noted that the future of French Polynesia lies with its young people.〔 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anne Bouquet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
