Annual conferences on current affairs

A few weeks ago, the former US representative to NATO, Kurt Volker, was at Monte-Carlo One’s Salle des Arts for a conference on the theme of “Russia’s war against Ukraine: what have we learned?” He spoke for an hour in front of Prince Albert II and an audience of around a hundred people. Prior to him, this year’s speakers, Professor and historian Andrea Riccardi, Army General Jean-Louis Georgelin and Juan Villalonga, Chairman of the Green Hills Software Advisory Board, spoke on a variety of subjects: “The Mediterranean: a crossroads of cultures, peoples and religions”, “The restoration of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris” and “Cybersecurity: an inconvenient truth,” respectively.
