SYLVIE BERMANN IS THE FIRST WOMAN TO BE ELEVATED TO THE RANK OF "AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE".

She has served as an ambassador in three permanent member countries of the United Nations Security Council: China (2011-2014), the United Kingdom (2014-2017), and Russia (2017-2019).

In 2020, she was appointed President of the Board of Directors of  The Institut des hautes études de défense nationale (IHEDN) and in 2021, she became an Administrator of the Institute of International Relations and Strategic studies (IRIS) and an Administrator of Jacques Delors Institute .

Sylvie Bermann is also a columnist for the newspaper “Les Echos”.

“The 21st century is marked by a succession of serious crises.”

In a world that was supposed to forget about wars and move towards stability, particularly in Europe, a few financial crises, a pandemic, and a war against Ukraine on European soil have questioned the certainties we once had. And at no point were these crises formally anticipated.
