On Wednesday, 26 January 2022, New Strategy Center has organized the round table ”The Foreign Policy of France. The Relationship with the Russian Federation and Strategy Towards the Eastern Partnership Countries and the Wider Black Sea Region”.
The conference benefited from the contribution of Ambassador Pierre Andrieu, professor at the Sciences Po Paris, former Ambassador of France to the Republic of Moldova and Tajikistan. The dynamic debate took into account the French foreign and security policy toward the Russian Federation, the Eastern Partnership and the wider Black Sea region, in the context of the French Presidency of the Council of the EU. Paris’s priorities at both EU and NATO level are a major issue of interest for Romania, especially as President Emmanuel Macron announced France’s readiness to deploy troops to Romania, thus contributing to increasing the deterrence and defense capacity of the North Atlantic Alliance in the Black Sea region.
The discussion was moderated by Ambassador Gheorghe Magheru, member of the Scientific Council of the New Strategy Center.
