Ambassador Gérard Araud with the Paris American Club

Ambassador Gérard Araud, former Ambassador of France to the United States, discusses his 40-year career in some of France’s most prestigious diplomatic postings, as recounted in his book “Passeport Diplomatique.” His unvarnished insights on current geopolitical issues, such as populism, pandemics, the survival of NATO, and future challenges, such as artificial intelligence, biological and cyber warfare and how to treat non brick and mortar transactions (on-line platforms) was compelling for all.
