German intelligence coordinator Philipp Wolff's trip to Paris from 6 to 8 July was a whirlwind affair. The visit began on Monday evening with a cocktail reception at the National Assembly attended by selected geopolitical experts. Then, on Tuesday, alongside the Germany expert and French historian Hélène Miard-Delacroix, the intelligence chief took part in a security and defence symposium at Panthéon-Sorbonne University organised by the University of Cologne's Adenauer School of Government (ASG).
