US' Harris & Blinken Added To MSC Lineup-Politico

SECURITY

Politico has publishedwhat it claims is an early list of attendees for the high-profile Munich Security Conference, taking place in Germany's third most-populous city from 16-18 Feb. The latest additions include US Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. Other key figures include NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, UN Secretary General António Guterres, the heads of gov't of Germany, Belgium, Jordan, Lithuania, Guatemala, Fiji, and Barbados, the foreign ministers of Canada, Germany, Peru and Saudi Arabia, and the defence ministers of Germany, and Singapore.

  • Politico reports that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected, but not confirmed, to be attending. Given the MSC's position as the pre-eminent transatlantic forum for security and defence issues, and Ukraine's desperate need for the US to approve continued financial and military support for Kyiv, it remains likely that the Ukrainian president will attend the event in person to press his case.
