Event: In conversation with Jean-David Levitte

The Lowy Institute invites you to join us for a conversation with our 2016 Distinguished European Fellow, Jean-David Levitte.
 
Please join us at the National Press Club for a French perspective on the world, hosted by Lowy Institute senior researcher Sam Roggeveen and with questions invited from the audience. The discussion will range from Islamic State, Brexit and French foreign and defence policy to the rise of new powers in Asia.

Jean-David Levitte was the senior foreign policy adviser to Presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and Jacques Chirac and served on the presidential staff of Valery Giscard d’Estaing. He has held senior positions in the French Foreign Ministry, including as assistant secretary for Asia. He was the French ambassador to the United Nations in New York from 2000 to 2002 (chairing the Security Council on 9/11), and the Ambassador of France to the United States in Washington, DC during the war in Iraq.
