From February 6 to 8, 2015, the Bavarian capital will once again be the focus of the international community, as it hosts the 51st Munich Security Conference.

"The key topics of the 51st Munich Security Conference (MSC), to be held on February 6-8, will be the collapse of the international order due to the crisis in Ukraine and its implication for the European security architecture, as well as the exacerbating situation in the Middle East. Also, the dramatic situation of refugees in many parts of the world and the fight against terrorism will be among the top issues at this year's conference," the Munich conference’s website reported.

About 20 Heads of States and Governments, 60 Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Defense, 30 CEOs of large global companies as well as parliamentary delegations, including from the USA, are expected to attend.

According to the report, conference chairman Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger will welcome high ranking guests, including German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Presidents of Finland Sauli Niinistö, Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaite and Estonia Toomas Hendrik Ilves; the Prime Ministers of Iraq Haider Al-Abadi, and Lebanon, Tammam Salam, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, the President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini, the Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi and the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov, as well as his South Korean counterpart, Yun Byung-se.

In addition to a large number Foreign and Defense Ministers from EU and NATO member states, and high-ranking government delegations from USA and India, other guests expected at the MSC include former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, Secretary General of Amnesty International Salil Shetty, Director of Human Rights Watch Kenneth Roth, and the Executive Director of Greenpeace Kumi Naidoo.
