The Korean Ministry of Defense will host the Seoul Defense Dialogue (SDD) next week, aiming to explore cooperation amidst escalating global security uncertainties. Scheduled for Monday through Wednesday, the dialogue will revolve around the theme "Toward a new coexistence in the age of turbulence," according to the ministry. This year's forum is projected to gather approximately 1,000 participants from 67 nations, comprising defense chiefs from various countries such as the Czech Republic, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Uganda.
The event encompasses three plenary sessions focusing on international order and alliance, as well as four special sessions led by security experts. These sessions aim to discuss innovative approaches to achieving peace on the Korean Peninsula, addressing rifts, and fostering cooperation in the maritime order. A working-group discussion on cyber and space security sectors is set to take place on Monday.
The ministry emphasizes that the forum presents an opportunity to seek new methods for coexistence in an ever-evolving security landscape. Established in 2012, the annual SDD serves as a crucial platform for international dialogue and collaboration in the face of emerging global security challenges.
