Munich Security Conference

We are saddened by the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, a longstanding friend of the Munich Security Conference. He was a tireless champion of the transatlantic partnership and among the most outspoken supporters of Ukraine.    Read the press release: securityconference.org/en/news/full/t…

"We should shape technological change on a transatlantic basis—just as we have shaped NATO together for 80 years." @ischinger spoke to @handelsblatt about the future of AI governance, technological resilience, and the need for stronger European alternatives. 👇 securityconference.org/en/news/full/w…

NATO’s role in ensuring maritime security and dealing with shadow fleet was a topic of discussion, organised by 🇱🇻 @LIIA_LV, @MunSecConf @LATO_LV @EasternCircles . My points: military presence, stronger sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet and punishing those that evade them.
