It’s a venue for diplomatic initiatives to address the world's most pressing security concerns, bringing together heads of state and government, ministers, leading figures of international and

Since 2008, Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger has been chairman of the MSC, a senior German diplomat and former Deputy Foreign Minister. In addition to its annual flagship conference in Munich, the MSC regularly convenes distinguished events on particular topics and regions.
