Riester has held various ministerial roles throughout his career. In 2024, he was appointed Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade, Economic Attractiveness, the Francophonie, and French Nationals Abroad in the Attal government. Prior to this, he served as Minister Delegate for Relations with Parliament (2022–2024) in the Borne government and as Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade and Economic Attractiveness (2020–2022) in both the Castex and Borne governments.
