“In the margins of the MSC2025, Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov met with the Foreign Minister of Israel Gideon Saar.

Ministers discussed bilateral and multilateral issues of mutual interest, security situation and existing challenges in the Middle East,” the ministry said.

The Munich Security Conference is a significant event in global security discussions, this year coinciding with key developments such as the arrival of a new US administration, the start of a new European legislative cycle, and Germany’s parliamentary elections.

The conference opened by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, with discussions led by Christoph Heusgen. Central themes will cover global governance, democratic resilience, climate security, regional conflicts, and the future of transatlantic relations. Europe’s role on the world stage will also be a key area of focus.

In addition to the main discussions, around 200 side events and public outreach activities are scheduled. One notable pre-conference gathering is the 4th No Money for Terror Ministerial Conference on Counter-Terrorism Financing, organized by German Finance Minister Jörg Kukies. The conference will conclude with Jens Stoltenberg assuming the role of Chair, taking over from Christoph Heusgen.
