Our first physical event, held at our new event venue partner "We Are_" next to the Elysée Palace in Paris, with an online audience joining via Zoom.

Moderated by Asia Society France Co-Founder Duncan Clark, this panel event looked at the implications for France/Asia of the new AUKUS Australia-UK-US trilateral security pact, nuclear submarine initiative as well as the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan.

Our distinguished panel comprised Her Excellency Sylvie Bermann (former Ambassador to China and the UK), Pierre Haski (France Inter / L’Obs / Reporters Without Borders), Asia 21 alumnus Tamim Asey (Institute of War and Peace Studies), and Victor Mallet (Financial Times).
