A platform of influence for the Franco-British Defence community
Since the Lancaster House Treaties in 2010, the Franco-British Council has regularly organised a Defence Conference which has established itself as a networking platform of reference for bilateral relationships in the defence sector. This conference brings together representatives from the most senior level of military, government, industry and academia from both sides of the Channel. Its objectives are to forge new relationships and reinforce mutual understanding between the two countries’ defence communities.
