The French Presidency has hosted the FIEP 2025 pre summit in Paris from September 15th to September 17th. This preparatory meeting allowed all the delegations to be fully aware of the details of the summit ceremony.
It was a key milestone in preparation for the upcoming FIEP Summit (20–23 October 2025). This gathering not only reviewed the progress made under the French presidency but also marked the official handover of the presidency to the Gendarmería Nacional Argentina, which will lead the organization for the 2025–2026 cycle.
The event brought together 17 FIEP member delegations and welcomed two future observer forces: the Congolese National Gendarmerie and the National Guard of the United Arab Emirates.
