Munich Security Conference
Project Title
For support of the Middle East Consultation Group meetings
Date
Dec. 12, 2024
Duration
12 months
Description
Recent fast-moving crises in the Middle East have raised the level of instability and risk within and beyond the region to near unprecedented levels. In responding to these developments, the Munich Security Conference (MSC) will convene a high-level, multinational group of 15 experts and former policymakers to support ongoing diplomatic efforts in the broader Middle East. Through a series of monthly meetings (both virtual and in-person) in several key states in the region, the “Middle East Consultation Group” (the Group) will identify, list, categorize, and prioritize the key questions and issues to be resolved if the region is to become peaceful and fulfill its enormous, if heretofore stifled, potential. The Group will draft an early-stage review of this dialogue to be presented at the MSC annual conference in February 2025 and a final report to be presented to the UN General Assembly meeting in New York in September 2025.
