Georgia May Host Munich Security Conference Events

On 2018-2019, Georgia may host a number of events connected to the Munich Security Conference. The possibility was discussed at a meeting held in the government administration office between Giorgi Kvirikashvili, Prime Minister of Georgia, and Benedikt Franke, Chief Operating Officer, Munich Security Conference, on October 17.

It is said that the ‘Georgian Defense and Security Conference,’ or ‘Georgia’s European Way’ might be used for the events.

The opportunity was first discussed during a meeting of Prime Minister Kvirikashvili and Chairman of the Munich Security Foundation, Wolfgang Ischinger, while the former was on an official visit to the US.

The PM is to participate in the upcoming Munich Security Conference (MSC) in February 2018, joining over 450 decision-makers, heads of state, international organizations and NGOs, alongside business sphere, public sector and media representatives coming from all over the world.

The MSC is the largest annual global forum where major issues of security policies are discussed.
