  "account": "Munich, Germany - Former NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and former OSCE Secretary-General Helga Maria Schmidt have been appointed as the new co-chairs of the Munich Security Conference (MSC). The MSC's foundation council unanimously decided to select the two as co-vice chairs, according to a statement from the conference in Munich. The future co-vice chairs are set to take over the responsibilities of the longtime chair, Wolfgang Ischinger, ahead of the 63rd MSC in February 2027 and will jointly lead the conference. Both are known advocates for transatlantic cooperation and have not only led major international organizations but have also directly contributed to significant decisions throughout their extensive careers. Ischinger expressed his satisfaction 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 recognized as the world's foremost expert gathering on security policy, with numerous heads of state and government regularly attending.",
