🧵 Some personal news : after four incredible years at @CSIS as a visiting fellow and then at @franceintheus as counselor for strategic affairs, it is time for me to say goodbye to DC.

🇰🇷 La situation ayant évolué dans le sens d’une résolution pacifique et de nature politique, l'Ambassade lève les restrictions qu'elle avait émises dans le courant de la nuit et invite la communauté à reprendre ses activités normales.

Bravo Han Kang, prix Nobel 🇰🇷 de littérature : la reconnaissance d’une oeuvre exigeante, parfois (utilement) dérangeante, toujours poétique et puissante.

한 강 Han Kang – awarded the 2024 #NobelPrize in Literature – was born in 1970 in the South Korean city of Gwangju before, at the age of nine, moving with her family to Seoul. She comes from a literary background, her father being a reputed novelist. Alongside her writing, she has also devoted herself to art and music, which is reflected throughout her entire literary production.

La Villa Busan, résidence officielle de 🇫🇷 en 🇰🇷 dédiée aux arts visuels, a été inaugurée au Hongti Art Center, en présence des membres fondateurs, Park Heong-joon, maire de Busan, David Lisnard, maire de Cannes, et Philippe Bertoux, Ambassadeur de France.

Philippe Bertoux, Ambassadeur de 🇫🇷 en 🇰🇷, et Pierre Morcos, Conseiller culturel, sont allés à la rencontre des galeristes et artistes présents aux foires internationales d'art contemporain #FriezeSeoul @friezeofficialet #KiafSeoul au @Coex_Seoul.

🇫🇷🇰🇷 Une semaine déjà en tant que Conseiller de coopération et d’action culturelle à Séoul. Une équipe formidable et une actualité déjà riche dans tous les domaines : universitaire, culturel ou éducatif.

Bonjour Washington DC 🇺🇸👋🏼 I am so proud & excited to be taking over for @Mathieu_Droin as the French visiting fellow at @CSISerep Europe, Russia, Eurasia program! Stay tuned for future contents on European defense, Nuclear and Arms control, or Women in Security insights 🚀

I will cherish the memories and friendships me and my family built in this beautiful country which will always be close to my heart. Goodbye DC, goodbye 🇺🇸 and hopefully see you soon.

As for my next professional move, I have the honor to join our Embassy in South Korea 🇰🇷 as Counselor for Culture, Science and Education, and Head of the French Institute, starting on September 2. I look forward to embracing this new chapter of my career.

France enters the conversation :

It has been a privilege to serve as 🇫🇷 ´s ambassador to @nato. Ps : and quite a dedication as well ! - rough estimate by 🇨🇦 colleague David Angell = over those 5y, we spent more than 600 hours in North Atlantic Council meetings + ministerial meetings & summits… Time to move on.

Magnifique cérémonie d’ouverture des @jeuxolympiques de @Paris2024 ! Bons jeux à la République de Corée 🤩
