US vice president to attend Munich Security Conference

WASHINGTON

US Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Germany to attend the Munich Security Conference from Feb.18-20, the White House said Wednesday.

"Building on the Biden-Harris Administration’s intensive engagement with European allies and partners, the Vice President’s engagements in Munich will demonstrate our ironclad commitment to our NATO Allies, reaffirm our shared interest in upholding the principles that have underpinned European peace and security since World War II, and underscore our commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity," it said in a statement.

President Joe Biden virtually attended the 57th security conference last year.

The conference aims to provide key decision-makers with an opportunity to meet and search for common approaches and peaceful solutions.
