MUNICH, GERMANY (ITALPRESS/MNA) – “At the 2026 Munich Security Conference, dialogue is not a ritual, but a concrete responsibility. In a time marked by tensions, conflicts, and the redefinition of global balances, Munich remains one of the few places where politics, defense, the economy, and civil society engage with realism and vision.”
This was stated by Kamel Ghribi, President of Ecam – The European Corporate Council on Africa and the Middle East – on the occasion of the Munich Security Conference.
“I had the pleasure of meeting with Defense Minister Guido Crosetto,” Ghribi continued, “with whom we shared a frank reflection on Italy’s role in an increasingly complex international scenario: European security, transatlantic relations, industrial cooperation, and responsibility in the broader Mediterranean. Italy can and must be a factor of stability and reliability.”
He also described as significant his discussion with Massad Fares Boulos, U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs. “Africa and the Middle East are not peripheries, but strategic crossroads for the global future,” Ghribi stressed. “Dialogue, development, and serious partnerships are the true infrastructure of security.”
Equally important, he added, was his meeting with Wang Yi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China. “In an international context marked by new polarisations, keeping channels of communication open with all major powers is essential to preserving balance and stability. Security does not arise from isolation, but from cooperation. And Munich reminds us that keeping dialogue open—even when the world grows more rigid—is the first form of leadership,” he concluded.
