*La séance s’est déroulée très correctement* et le débat était au niveau d’un réel partenariat.
I just can't seem to find an adequate way of saying that the meeting "s'est déroulée correctement". For now, I've got "was properly conducted", but I don't feel that this is really that loyal to the original.
Thanks in advance for your ideas,
Jocelyne

went very well
A basic way of saying it. "correct" in French is one of those words that is about as easy to understand fully as holding an eel. If they'd said it without the "très", it would have meant an average meeting, no serious mishaps, but nothing special either, and not perfect. Now, there is the "très", so it's a question of finding a word that expresses a global satisfaction with the meeting.
