        <p class="style8 style21">At the invitation of French Minister  of Defense Mich&egrave;le Alliot-Marie, the <em>22nd International Workshop on Global  Security </em>was  presented at La Chapelle-en-Serval and the Chateau de Chantilly on 10-12 June  2005 in order to address the theme of &ldquo;Global Security: A Security Strategy for  the Coming Decade.&rdquo; &nbsp;Responding to the &ldquo;continental drift&rdquo; that has  threatened to further separate the two shores of the Atlantic, Minister  Alliot-Marie has said that she would be the Minister of &ldquo;defense diplomacy&rdquo; <em>(diplomatie  de defense)</em>: For the first time in two decades, she invited the NATO  Defense Ministers to an informal ministerial meeting that was held in Nice  earlier this year. And we hope that our&nbsp;<em>22nd International Workshop </em>further contributes to her vision of  strengthened U.S.-European relations.</p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">Patronage of Minister  Mich&egrave;le Alliot-Marie.</span> We  appreciate Minister Alliot-Marie's warm invitation to hold this year's Workshop  in France, her many contributions as Workshop Patron, and the remarkable help  of an organizing committee that her Ministry established in Paris nearly one  year in advance of the Workshop. This committee comprised well-chosen  representatives of French government and industry: Ambassador Marc Perrin de  Brichambaut, then Director for Strategic Affairs in the Defense Ministry and  now OSCE Secretary General; Mr. Jean-Louis Gergorin, Executive Vice President  at EADS-France; Ing&eacute;nieur G&eacute;n&eacute;ral de l&rsquo;Armement Robert Ranquet, Deputy Director  of Strategic Affairs in the Ministry; and Admiral Jean Betermier (Ret.),  Special Advisor to the Chairman of EADS. <em>&nbsp;</em> </p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">Workshop Advisory Board.</span> Members of the Workshop Advisory  Board were also invaluable in planning for this year's Workshop, and we have  tried to recognize them and some of their contributions below. On this  committee, General George Joulwan was especially helpful. Ever since he  succeeded General John Shalikasvili as Supreme Allied Commander, Europe and Honorary General Chairman of the Workshop,  General George Joulwan has played an important leadership role. During this  year's Workshop discussions, he has expressed grave concern for casualties in Iraq and called  for a major program to deal with the improvised explosive devices that are the  major cause.&nbsp; </p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">Addresses by Defense  Ministers. </span>In her  role as Workshop Patron, Minister Alliot-Marie presented the Workshop's opening  keynote address on 10 June and presided a panel of distinguished political  leaders: British Defence Secretary Dr. John Reid, Canadian Defense Minister  Bill Graham, Bulgarian Defense Minister Nikolay Svinarov, Slovakian Defense  Minister Juraj Li&scaron;ka, and Slovenian Defense Minister Karl Erjavec.&nbsp; </p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">General Harald Kujat's  valedictory address.</span> Later that evening, General Harald Kujat gave his final address as Chairman of  NATO's Military Committee and NATO's most senior military official. General  Kujat has supported and participated in the Workshop as Director of Germany's  Planning Staff, as Chief of Defense of Germany, and as Chairman of the NATO Military  Committee. He has contributed much to the Workshop and his leadership will be  missed. We were glad that General Raymond Henault, his successor, was able to  participate in the Workshop as well.&nbsp; </p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">NATO's operational role.</span> On 11 June, opening speakers were  General George Joulwan, former Supreme Allied Commander, Europe; Mr. John  Koenig, Acting U.S. Permanent Representative on the North Atlantic Council;  General Rainer Schuwirth, Chief of Staff of Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers  Europe (SHAPE); and General Gerhard W. Back, Commander of Allied Joint Force  Command, Brunssum (whose responsibilities include NATO's mission in Afghanistan).&nbsp; </p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">Iran and the Middle East. </span>Dr. Werner Fasslabend, Member of the  Austrian Parliament and former Minister of Defense of Austria, gave a luncheon  address on &ldquo;Iran's Security Implications in the Middle East&rdquo; which was followed  by discussions led by Ambassador Beno&icirc;t d&rsquo;Aboville, France's Permanent  Representative on the North Atlantic Council. His Canadian counterpart, Ambassador  Jean-Pierre Juneau, presided over a special session in which Ambassador Thomas  Pickering, former United States Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs  and a Boeing Senior Vice President, also addressed Iran  and the Middle East.&nbsp; </p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">The EU and NATO.</span> Ambassador Marc Perrin de  Brichambaut chaired a major panel on &ldquo;The Way Ahead for the EU and NATO&rdquo; with  presentations by Admiral Giampaolo Di Paola, Italy's Chief of Defense Staff;  General Klaus Naumann, former Chief of Defense of Germany and Former Chairman  of the NATO Military Committee; and Lieutenant General Jean-Paul Perruche,  Director General of the European Union Military Staff.&nbsp; </p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">Investing in  capabilities.</span> Speaking on &ldquo;Global Security: Investing in Capabilities&rdquo; were Dale Klein, U.S.  Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological  Defense Programs; Mr. Jean-Louis Gergorin; Rt Hon Bruce George, Chair of the  Select Committee on Defense of the U.K. House of Commons; and Mr. Denis Ranque,  Chairman and CEO of Thales.&nbsp; </p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">Ukraine's Orange  Revolution.</span> At the  Chateau de Chantilly, the historic residence of the Princes de Cond&eacute;, Mr.  Jean-Louis Gergorin welcomed participants on behalf of the French government  and industry. Ukraine's  Foreign Minister Borys Tarasyuk described Ukraine's experience since the  Orange Revolution six months earlier.&nbsp; </p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">Providing the  capabilities.</span> On 12  June, addressing the theme of &ldquo;International Cooperation: Providing the  Capabilities,&rdquo; Mr. Patrick Auroy, Director for Force Systems and Industrial,  Technological and Cooperation Strategies, D&eacute;l&eacute;gation G&eacute;n&eacute;rale pour l&rsquo;Armement  at the French Ministry of Defense, led a large and distinguished panel of  acquisition and industry leaders with Mr. Jan-Olof Lind, Swedish National  Armaments Director; Dr. Hans-Heinrich Weise, Ministerialdirektor, Director of  the Armaments Division at the German Defense Ministry; Mr. Alfred Volkman,  Director for International Cooperation in the Office of the Under Secretary of  Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics); Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope,  Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Transformation; Mr. Fran&ccedil;ois Courtot, Senior  Vice President for International Development at SAFRAN; Mr. Giovanni Bertolone,  Chief Executive Officer of Alenia Aeronautica S.p.A.; and Dr. Scott Harris,  President for Continental Europe of Lockheed Martin Global.&nbsp; </p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">Network-centric  operations. </span>Dr.  Linton Wells II, U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and  Information Integration (acting), chaired a series of major presentations on  network-centric technologies and information technologies which were presented  by Mr. Kent Schneider, President of Defense Enterprise Solutions at Northrop  Grumman Information Technology and Mr. Thomas Vice, Vice President&ndash;Business  Development at Northrop Grumman Integrated Systems.&nbsp; </p>
        <p class="style8 style21"><span class="style25">Workshop wrap-up. </span>Ambassador Jaromir Novotn&yacute;, Czech  Ambassador to India,  chaired a final &ldquo;Overview&rdquo; panel with Latvian State Secretary Edgars Rinkevics,  Romanian State Secretary Ion Mircea Plangu, &nbsp;and Vice-Admiral Tarmo K&otilde;uts,  Commander of the Estonian Defense Forces.&nbsp;</p>

Its Cond&eacute; Museum hosts  the largest collection of paintings in France after the Louvre, with paintings  by Fra Angelico, Raphael, Van Dyke, and a library of rare books including the  famous Book of Hours, the <em>Tr&egrave;s Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. </em>It has  been the residence of great figures in French history, from the Princes de  Cond&eacute; to the Duc d&rsquo;Aumale, son of King Louis-Philippe.
