Peace Through Dialogue!
The 44th Munich Conference on Security and Policy

The 44th Munich Conference on Security Policy ended with a great deal of promise. A host of high-ranking heads of state, foreign and defence ministers and diplomats provided fresh impetus for security policy – a call was put out for an atmosphere of creative and constructive debate in NATO to be established. Catchwords which are above all expected to influence the future of NATO’s engagement. A year after Putin's spectacular speech, Russia struck a conciliatory tone. Other subjects addressed were proliferation, Asia and Russia.
