On 3 March 2011, the Centre for Political and Foreign Affairs (CPFA) in Paris hosted David Miliband, former Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom, for a discussion moderated by Steven Erlanger, Paris bureau chief of The New York Times. The event brought together political figures alongside international observers for an in-depth exchange on diplomacy and global security.

Miliband reflected on his tenure as Foreign Secretary, addressing the challenges of Britain’s role in the world, the future of European cooperation, and the impact of conflicts in the Middle East on international stability. He also offered perspectives on transatlantic relations and the need for renewed multilateralism in addressing global crises.

The conversation, enriched by the presence of French and international politicians, offered a dynamic forum for debate. By hosting Miliband in Paris under the moderation of a leading international journalist, CPFA reinforced its mission of fostering dialogue that bridges national experiences and global challenges.
