Munich, 10 February 2022 (TDI): The 58th Munich Security Conference is going to take place at its traditional venue in Munich, the Hotel Bayerischer Hof, from 18 February to 20 February 2022.
The 58th Munich Security Conference will be similar to its traditional pattern with few changes due to COVID-19 to ensure the health and safety of the participants. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will be the opening speaker of the Security Conference.
The Conference will welcome fewer guests including small delegations and media representatives traveling to Munich as compared to the previously held Security Conference.
However, the focus is on high-level participation of all stakeholders, therefore maximum interaction among them will remain this time. Chairman Munich Security Conference, Wolfgang Ischinger said,
‘‘Our world is in danger. Traditional certainties are crumbling, threats and vulnerabilities are multiplying, and the rules-based order is increasingly under attack. The need for dialogue has never been greater.’’

Key Speech of Kamala Harris will be focused on US policy towards Ukraine and the American commitment to its NATO allies.
Deputy Press Secretary for the Vice President, Sabrina Singh said,
“Munich will demonstrate our ironclad commitment to our NATO allies, reaffirm our shared interest in upholding the principles that have underpinned European peace, and security since World War II, and underscore our commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Due to Covid-19, last year the meeting was held virtually. However, this time Security Conference is going to be held from 18-20 February 2022 in Munich.
