#MSC2025 has shown that transatlantic cooperation is under maximum pressure. In his @projectsyndicate.bsky.social op-ed, @tobiasbunde.bsky.social argues that if there is any silver lining, it is that America has shaken European leaders out of complacency. ➡️ www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/w...

🌐 We live in a world shaped by “multipolarization” — meaning both a global power shift to more actors and increasing polarization. The symbol of this years #MSCreport is Rubik's ball, visualizing the potential “poles” in an emerging multipolar order.

At the just concluded Munich Sec Conference #MSC2025 @munsecconf.bsky.social, @foreignpolicy.com held an Emerging Threats Forum, and it was good to be part of the Forum’s session on Biosecurity in the Age of Transformational Tech. 1/x

Launched a year ago, the MSC #FoodSecurity Task Force has been dedicated to steering the food security conversation towards a more strategic and geopolitically informed direction for two years.

On the sidelines of #MSC2025, the members of our Middle East Consultation Group also convened for extensive, in-depth discussions on how to contribute to peace and stability in the region.

Almost every second US American prefers bilateral approaches over multilateralism — new data from our Munich Security Report 2025 shows. Read the #MSCreport here: securityconference.org/en/publicati...

True to its core, #MSC2025 delivered on being the place to raise uncomfortable matters and share common visions. The debates started this weekend will continue to shape the discussions this year. Rewatch the sessions you've missed: securityconference.org/en/msc-2025/...

🆕 The Munich Security Conference is often described as the place to take the temperature of world politics and assess the state of the transatlantic partnership. In this year, the only question was: How bad is it? Read our #MSC2025 Debrief ⬇️ securityconference.org/en/publicati...

Ambassador Christoph Heusgen has always seen the silver linings, even in turbulent times. After his three year tenure, Ischinger and our new Chair Jens Stoltenberg presented him with a literal silver lining. On behalf of our entire team: Thank you, Christoph Heusgen!

🎖️ @kajakallas.bsky.social is the recipient of this year's Ewald von Kleist Award. We honor her support for Ukraine, recognizing her as a staunch defender of the rule of law. Like the award's namesake, she has courageously stood up to dictators, giving Europe a voice urgently needed.

We had a pub at #MSC2025 and here's why we loved it: The @politico.com Pub hosted high-level interviews by its reporting lineup, it was the perfect location for an informal get together in Rosewood Munich — and convinced us with some delicious fries.

After delivering his Closing Remarks, Christoph Heusgen receives a standing ovation at the 61st Munich Security Conference. The entire MSC team expresses its heartfelt gratitude for his three-year chairmanship, which comes to an end today with the closing of #MSC2025.

In a commentary for Project Syndicate, @tobiasbunde.bsky.social and Sophie Eisentraut argue: "The world urgently needs to 'depolarize' politics." Can it be achieved and who would even be willing to take up the effort? ⬇️ www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/m...
