L' @acad_em aura l’honneur de recevoir, pour l’ouverture du Forum de Paris pour la défense et la stratégie #PDSF2026 : 📍 Madame @RufoAlice, ministre déléguée auprès de la ministre des Armées et des Anciens combattants. 📍 Son Excellence Hanne Fugl Eskjær, ambassadrice du Danemark en France. @DKAmb_France La présence conjointe la ministre déléguée et de l'ambassadrice danoise illustre la profondeur croissante du partenariat stratégique entre nos deux pays. ➡️ En effet, dans un contexte stratégique marqué par le retour de la guerre de haute intensité sur le continent et par la nécessité de renforcer la défense européenne, la #France et le #Danemark partagent une même exigence : consolider l’Alliance atlantique et leur alliance bilatérale, investir dans les capacités, et approfondir les partenariats opérationnels et industriels. Cette ouverture conjointe symbolise une #Europe de la défense plus solidaire, plus coordonnée et résolument tournée vers l’action. Le #PDSF2026 sera ainsi le lieu d’un dialogue stratégique exigeant, porté par l’esprit de coopération et de responsabilité partagée. 📅 Rendez-vous le 24 mars à 10h30 ! --- The French Defence University will have the honor of welcoming, for the opening of the Paris Defence and Strategy Forum #PDSF2026: 📍 Ms. @RufoAlice, Minister of State attached to the Minister of the Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs of the French Republic. 📍 Her Excellency Hanne Fugl Eskjær, Danish Ambassador to France. @DKAmb_France The joint presence of the French minister and Danish ambassador illustrates the growing depth of the strategic partnership between our two countries. ➡️ Indeed, in a strategic context marked by the return of high-intensity warfare on the continent and the need to strengthen European defence, #France and #Denmark share the same requirements: consolidating the Alliance, investing in capabilities, and deepening operational and industrial partnerships. This joint opening symbolises a more united, more coordinated, and resolutely action-oriented #Europe of defence. The #PDSF2026 will thus be the venue for a demanding strategic dialogue, driven by a spirit of cooperation and shared responsibility. 📅 See you on 24 March at 10.30 am! @Elysee @EmmanuelMacron @gouvernementFR @SebLecornu @Armees_Gouv @francediplo @denmarkdotdk @francedk @DanemarkDu @EtatMajorFR @UEFrance @EU_Commission @Sante_Gouv @Ecologie_Gouv @Interieur_Gouv @Economie_Gouv @justice_gouv @education_gouv @Matignon
