A four-member French delegation led by Lieutenant General Benoît Durieux, the Director of Institut des Hautes Études de Défense Nationale (IHEDN) paid a visit to University of Defence on 12 July 2022.

The visit aimed at the activities and responsibilities of the French institute and Czech Centre of Security and Military Strategic Studies under University of Defence. Both institutions agreed on building their cooperation in future. Three or four Czech Centre’s personnel will travel to France for a working visit probably in September this year to arrange a joint workshop. As the next step a strategic seminar is going to take place February or March 2023 attended also by defence departments of both France and Czech Republic.
