An enriching exchange took place at the French Embassy in Germany, bringing together key stakeholders for a wide-ranging discussion with French Ambassador François Delattre on Franco-German relations in the current geopolitical context and the state of the German economy.
The meeting was held against a backdrop defined by pressing challenges such the ongoing war in Ukraine; the economic stakes facing Europe in its relations with China and the United States; as well as the growing frequency of attacks on the foundations of democratic systems.
Against this complex backdrop, participants converged on a clear conclusion, namely, that European, collective responses to these challenges are not only desirable, they are necessary. The Franco-German relationship remains a cornerstone of European cohesion, and strengthening this relationship at the level of citizens, businesses and states is a shared and deeply felt motivation among all actors of Team France in Germany.
