The Korean Ministry of Defense announced a major international security forum, the Seoul Defense Dialogue, set to take place next week from Monday to Wednesday.

The forum is expected to gather around 1,000 delegates from 67 countries, including defense chiefs from the Czech Republic, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Uganda. Key discussions will focus on international order and alliance, featuring three plenary sessions, as well as four special sessions led by security experts.
Among the topics under discussion will be a new approach to achieving peace on the Korean Peninsula, as well as challenges related to rifts and cooperation in the maritime order. A working group session dedicated to cyber and space security is set to convene on Monday.
The Ministry of Defense emphasized that the annual forum serves as a crucial platform to seek innovative ways for coexistence in a rapidly evolving security landscape. Established in 2012, the Seoul Defense Dialogue has become a significant annual event in the realm of international security cooperation.
