Prime Ministers and Presidents to Meet in Prague for Globsec Conference

Around ten prime ministers and presidents and 20 defence and foreign ministers from Europe, the Middle East and south-east Asia are coming to Prague this week for the Globsec international security conference.

The event will now be held in Prague from August 30 to September 1. About 2,000 guests from more than 60 countries are expected to attend the conference.

“Globsec is a significant international conference contributing to the cultivation of dialogue on international and security policy questions, which is very needed in today’s world,” Pavel stated, adding he is looking forward to the Prague Forum, which “will highlight its Central European dimension”.

The 2023 edition of Globsec hosted French President Emmanuel Macron, and the forum has long been the highest-profile international event in Slovakia.

“The rich history and the strategic significance of Prague turns it into an ideal place for support of international dialogue and spreading of the constructive voice of Central Europe,” Globsec’s founder and president Robert Vass was quoted as saying by Czech media.

The conference is also supposed to see the establishment of a centre under the leadership of General John Allen, formerly US President Barack Obama’s adviser on the fight against the Islamic State, Vass said.

The centre has the support of Microsoft President Brad Smith, for example, he said.
