Franco/American Relations Discussed at NY Forum







As part of its continuing Conferences@934 policy series, the French Consulate in New York recently hosted a forum on French and American Middle Eastern Foreign Policy since 2003.   The evening program brought together under the auspices of the French American Global Forum, offered a
tour d'horizon of the changing and often contentious policies between Paris and Washington in the wake of the Iraq War.

Gideon Rose, editor of Foreign Affairs magazine offered poignant insights into the issues which divided the two traditional allies in the countdown to the Iraq and the conflict's aftermath.  Prof. Robert Jervis of Columbia University provided an overview of the conflict and its aftermath.

Mr. Romuald Sciora, filmmaker and author, put together the program which is part of a wider series on Franco/American relations.   The discussion, followed by a elegant reception,  was held at the
Consulate on Fifth Avenue.
