Pelosi to Participate in Munich Security Conference, Join MSC Advisory Council

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi is traveling to Germany to participate in the Munich Security Conference. She will engage with top officials from allies and partners as a new Member of the Advisory Council of the Munich Security Conference Foundation.

"Nearly one year since Putin's diabolical invasion of Ukraine, the world remains in awe of the courage and heroism of the Ukrainian people," Speaker Emerita Pelosi said. "This year's Munich Security Conference convenes world leaders at a critical moment to reaffirm our unshakeable unity in supporting the fight for freedom in Ukraine."

"Last year, it was my privilege as Speaker to deliver on a strongly bipartisan basis billions in deeply needed security, economic and humanitarian aid to Ukraine," Pelosi continued. "As the world continues to witness the rise of anti-democratic threats, a strong transatlantic partnership is as vital as ever. In Munich, we will strengthen bonds with top officials of our allies – promoting security, prosperity and Democracy in the world for generations to come."

Speaker Emerita Pelosi's participation also comes as part of a bipartisan Congressional delegation to the conference. The United States' participation will be headlined by Vice President Kamala Harris. A special feature of the conference each year is the tribute to and awards ceremony honoring the late Senator John McCain.

The annual Munich Security Conference is the premier global forum to discuss the most pressing opportunities and challenges to international security. Just days before the one-year mark of the Russian invasion, the conference will include a special focus on Ukraine's ongoing fight for freedom and the importance of unity in the transatlantic response.
