The Munich Security Conference enters its second day Saturday with high-profile addresses from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Discussions span the international order, Ukraine support, transatlantic security, and interconnected challenges from the Indo-Pacific to Sudan.

Day two of the Munich Security Conference brings a密集 schedule of leadership addresses and panel discussions addressing the most pressing global security challenges. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio opens the proceedings with a statement on "The U.S. in the World," followed immediately by a conversation with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi examining Beijing's global role amid intensifying great power competition.

Ukraine, Transatlantic Security Front and Center

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joins NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and European Parliament President Roberta Metsola for a session on securing sustained international support for Kyiv. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will discuss navigating power dynamics in an increasingly disordered world. A dedicated panel on defending Europe and supporting Ukraine brings together German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.

Global Reach: Indo-Pacific, Syria, Venezuela, Sudan

The conference extends beyond Europe's borders with discussions on Indo-Pacific security challenges, featuring US Under Secretary of Defense Policy Elbridge Colby and a broader panel examining interconnected threats facing Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Sessions addressing Syria's post-revolution trajectory, Venezuela's crisis, and efforts to end Sudan's devastating conflict reflect the gathering's global scope. Climate security, food security, water geopolitics, criminal networks, and democratic resilience amid rising authoritarianism round out an ambitious agenda as the three-day conference continues through Sunday.
