(Sundiata Post) The Chairman of the Munich Security Conference, Christophe Heusgen, wants to bring leaders of France, Germany and Poland, namely Emmanuel Macron, Olaf Scholz and Donald Tusk together at a meet in mid-February.
This would be a revival of the Weimar Triangle, a regional alliance of France, Germany, and Poland that was created in 1991.
“I think it’s very important that we expand the Franco-German pairing to include Poland as the largest country in Eastern Europe.
“If that succeeds, it will be very nice. The invitation has been extended,’’ Heusgen said during a podcast.
Looking ahead to the security conference itself, he said in spite of numerous crises and conflicts around the world, the event should convey a message of diplomacy.
“We are bringing together politicians, the military and representatives of civil society so that they can find out where there is a silver lining on the horizon,’’Heusgen told the Table.
Attendees at the event that was set to run from Feb. 16 to Feb. 18 were to include U.S. Vice President, Kamala Harris.
As was the case in 2023,, representatives of the Russian administration have not been invited.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin will be arrested if he comes,’’ said Heusgen.
He was referring to the fact that the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against Putin in 2023 for alleged war crimes in Moscow’s war on Ukraine. (NAN)
