In the framework of the new French political environment and in view of the French Presidency of the European Union in July 2008, a Commission for the preparation of a White Book on French European and foreign policy was launched last October, led by the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs. Its goal is to identify the key missions of French diplomacy, based on an analysis of the international context, and more specifically of globalization, and to draw the consequences in terms of organisation and structure.

The aim of this meeting, taking place in Paris on January 18 and 19, is to open up the debate initiated with the White Book exercise to international experts and gather their views on this new globalized world and what it entails for France and Europe’s foreign policy.
