The 57-year-old, dubbed the King of Cotton because of
his business interests in the industry, was inaugurated at the
Charles de Gaulle stadium in the capital Porto-Novo.
"With my term I will exercise state power with
dignity and simplicity," Mr Talon said, in a short inauguration speech, AFP
reports. "I will serve as the president with humility, selflessness
and sacrifice for the welfare of all," he added.
