Security policy: Munich Security Conference gets dual leadership
For years, Wolfgang Ischinger has been leading the Munich Security Conference. He will no longer be organizing the next meeting in February. A leadership duo with a lot of diplomatic experience is taking over.
Jens Stoltenberg and Helga Maria Schmidt have been appointed as the new co-chairs of the Munich Security Conference (MSC). The decision was made unanimously by the MSC's board of trustees. They will take over from Wolfgang Ischinger, who has led the conference for nearly 20 years, in time for the 63rd Munich Security Conference in February 2027.
Stoltenberg and Schmidt are described as experienced transatlanticists with long careers in leading international organizations. Ischinger will continue to support the MSC as an active member of its board of trustees.
