Yekhanurov to attend 44th Munich Conference on Security Policy

A Ukrainian delegation led by Defense Minister Yuriy Yekhanurov will take part in the 44th Munich Conference on Security Policy, the Defense Ministry's press-service told.

Within the framework of the forum, the Defense Minister is expected to hold bilateral meetings with French Defense Minister Herve Morin and Singapore's Defense Minister Teo Chee Hean.

The Munich Conference on Security Policy inarguably ranks among the top group of major political meetings.

Altogether, 250 delegates from 50 countries will be coming to the Bavarian capital for the event.

The general subject of the Conference is "A World in Disarray - Shifting Powers - Lack of Strategies".
