MSC: Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz bekommt Doppelspitze
Jahrelang führte Wolfgang Ischinger die Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz. Das nächste Treffen im Februar organisiert er nicht mehr. Ein Führungsduo mit viel diplomatischer Erfahrung übernimmt.
Munich - Former NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and former OSCE Secretary-General Helga Maria Schmidt have been chosen as the new co-chairs of the Munich Security Conference (MSC), according to the conference's governing body. The foundation council unanimously decided to appoint the two former officials to take over the responsibilities of long-serving chair Wolfgang Ischinger before the 63rd MSC in February 2027 and co-lead the event.
Both are known trans-Atlanticists who have led major international organizations and personally contributed to significant decisions over their long careers. Ischinger expressed his pleasure at continuing to support the MSC as an active member of its foundation council after nearly two decades at its helm. The Munich Security Conference is considered the world's most important annual gathering on security policy, with numerous heads of state and government attending regularly.
