From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Munich Conference on Security Policy (German Münchner Konferenz für Sicherheitspolitik) is an annual conference on international policy, held in the Hotel Bayerischer Hof in Munich, Germany.

Ministers, members of parliament, high-ranking representatives of the armed forces, scientists and representatives of the media are invited to the discussion forum, which focuses on foreign and security policy challenges in European and American relations. Each year, some 250 participants from 40 countries discuss in depth their views on the development of transatlantic relations as well as European and global security.

It was founded in 1962 by German publisher Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist-Schmenzin under the title Wehrkundetagung.
