As part of his visit to Korea to participate in a conference at the FKCCI, Mr. François Hollande, former President of the French Republic, took the time to meet our Première and Terminale (grade 11 & 12)  high school students this Tuesday, September 20, 2022 at the CDI.

This is the second time that the French School of Seoul has had the privilege of welcoming Mr. Hollande. His last visit dates back to 2019, where he met the primary school students.

The students prepared this interview with their questions on various topics on economy, ecology, diplomacy, geopolitics, Korea and international relations.

The meeting ended with a photo and signing session.

Staff from the French Embassy in Korea were also present during the intervention.

We thank Mr. Hollande and the French Embassy for organizing the event and for giving the students the rare and precious opportunity to meet a key figure in the field of politics.

The ex-president left a note on our visitor’s log:

With all my gratitude for the welcome that the staff gave me and my congratulations for the quality of the questions asked by the students.

This school is an honor for France.

Sincerely,

François Hollande
