London Defence Conference

Academics, policy makers, industry experts and armed forces personnel. All in one room. Day two of the London Defence Conference has started. #LDC2026

The biggest opening day in LDC history. At a time when defence is more important than ever. #LDC2026

Our national security and our economic resilience are directly linked. This government, our Armed Forces and industry are working together to meet the challenge head on. As always, a privilege to be at the @LondonDefConf today👇

Today I was delighted to speak @LondonDefConf on the future of warfare. In an uncertain world, one thing is clear -the strength of our industrial base and pace of production is, and will continue to be, central to our warfighting advantage.

Defence is about facing up to the challenges of the world today. ⬇️ Secretary of State for Defence @JohnHealey_MP at LDC. #LDC2026

Od wczoraj jestem w Londynie by uczestniczyć we właśnie rozpoczętej London Defence Conference @LondonDefConf. To jedno z wiodących europejskich forów debaty strategicznej, gromadzące liderów i ekspertów z sektora obronnego. Przede mną dwa dni ciekawych dyskusji oraz poznawania ludzi tworzących ekosystem bezpieczeństwa państw NATO. W czasie toczących się wojen oraz destabilizacji sytuacji międzynarodowej udział w takich wydarzeniach jest kluczowy, by znać kreatorów polityki obronnej i decydentów oraz uczestniczyć w nieoficjalnej dyskusji, która pozwala realistycznie odczytywać sytuację w której walczymy o polską rację stanu.
