The 54th edition of the MSC is held between Friday and Sunday in Germany, bringing together over 30 heads of state and government and over 100 cabinet ministers from various countries.
During the first decades of its operation, the forum, founded in 1963, was commonly referred to as a "transatlantic family meeting" because allies of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) have gathered during the conference.
