Report on "Security & Stability in Africa in the 21st Century"
On April 8–10, 2010, a group of U.S. and French military officials and civilian policymakers and analysts gathered outside Paris for the 10th French-American Defense Symposium. The French-American Defense Symposia are a unique forum for senior military officers and defense experts from France and the United States to interact outside their official capacities and to share lessons learned.
With a focus on the nature of the security challenge in Africa in the twenty-first century, the conference provided participants with an opportunity to share information on current strategies of engagement and to explore areas for more effective cooperation between the United States and France.
