About this congress

The Munich Security Conference (MSC) is the world's leading forum for debating international security policy. Held annually in February, it brings together high-profile and senior decision-makers, including heads of state, government ministers, military leaders, and experts from various fields, to discuss current and future security challenges. It serves as a venue for diplomatic initiatives, informal meetings, and the exchange of ideas, aiming to build trust and contribute to the peaceful resolution of conflicts. The MSC embraces a comprehensive definition of security, encompassing economic, environmental, and human dimensions alongside traditional national or military security.
