On 7 June 2016, Hydrographic Institute of the Republic of Croatia received a visit from the French Naval Academy delegation led by its president Henri Legoherel. The visit was organized by Ambassador of the French Republic to the Republic of Croatia Michèle Boccoz, and the military attaché Colonel Laurent Vonderscher.

The objective of this visit was to intensify cooperation between France and Croatia, as members of the French Naval Academy, on account of their experience and acquaintance network, may be excellent promoters of French-Croatian relations.

Members of the French Naval Academy at their own wish visited Museum of Hydrography and Cartographic Department of the Hydrographic Institute. In a nice atmosphere, Acting Director Nenad Leder and Head of Cartograhic Department Pejo Bročić briefed them about the past and present of the hydrographic activity on Eastern Adriatic.
