France also has its forum on defense and geostrategy. Less established than the Munich Conference, and for good reason, it is only in its third edition, compared to 62 for its German counterpart, the Paris Defence and Strategy Forum (PDSF), organized in partnership with L’Express, is the gathering place for those interested in geopolitics, military issues, and strategy.
From Tuesday, March 24 to Thursday, March 26, many international leaders will meet in the amphitheaters of the Military School: the Minister of the Armed Forces, Catherine Vautrin, Fabien Mandon, the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, several European ministers, part of the Danish staff, senior German officials, Admiral Dragone, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Oleksandr Kamyshin, advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and many senior officials from across the continent.
In this perspective of European brainstorming, the Defense Academy of the Military School (Academ) wanted to honor Denmark, at the center of Donald Trump’s attention a few months ago, and the concept of sovereignty. General Hervé de Courrèges, president of the Academ and director of the Institute of Advanced Studies in National Defense (IHEDN), details his vision of sovereignty and its necessary evolution to meet the challenges of a world where high-intensity wars are multiplying.
