On June 5th, the Warsaw Security Forum held its Annual Ambassadors’ Meeting, bringing together nearly 50 ambassadors representing EU, NATO, and Partner Countries. The event took place at the French Residence in Warsaw, graciously hosted by H.E. Étienne de Poncins, Ambassador of France to Poland.
The meeting was opened by Prof. Katarzyna Pisarska, Chair of the Warsaw Security Forum, who welcomed the diplomatic corps and emphasized the growing international relevance of the Forum. This year marks the 12th edition of WSF, and for the first time, its agenda and strategic themes were presented to the diplomatic community.
This year, France serves as the official Partner Country of the Warsaw Security Forum 2025. Ambassador de Poncins shared remarks on France’s commitment to European and transatlantic security and its strong partnership with Poland in the face of shared geopolitical challenges
The WSF Public Dialogue will bring together ministers involved in the Gymnich format, security experts, academics, and journalists. They will take part in a discussion about key issues related to the priorities of the Polish Presidency — the war in Ukraine, European defense, and transatlantic relations.
The conference will serve as a platform for initiating significant debates that will help shape the agenda of the European Union for 2025 and subsequent years. Through the exchange of opinions and recommendations between politicians and experts from member states and Ukraine, the event will aim to strengthen the Polish Presidency while promoting a sustainable and comprehensive approach to achieving its goals.
Our mission is profoundly important: Advancing the role of women in the field of international peace and security will be one of the keys to advancing peace and security in our world in the 21st century.
