Last update: 2 hours agoIndo-Pacific Diplomacy: France’s ambassador to Bangladesh Jean-Marc Séré-Charlet said Paris wants the region to be a “zone of free passage, peace, and cooperation,” calling for a long-term, reciprocal partnership and a “level playing field” across sectors as both France and the EU watch Bangladesh’s initiatives closely. Decolonization Debate: A new commentary argues France’s overseas-territory language (calling places “overseas departments” or “collectivities” rather than colonies) helps sustain control while decolonization is treated as already finished, pointing to global media forums and renewed international pressure.

Music Spotlight: The Westerlies, a chamber-jazz group blending classical cohesion with rock energy, is listed for a July 19 performance in Stanford. Film & Dance: The San Francisco Dance Film Festival program screens short dance films, including work described as reaching from French Polynesia to Spain.
