Shaheen Joins Bipartisan Congressional Delegation at Munich Security Conference Following Senate Passage of National Security Supplemental Deal

(Washington, DC) - U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), a senior member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, is traveling with a bipartisan Congressional Delegation to participate in the Munich Security Conference (MSC). The MSC is widely considered the world’s leading forum for international security policy. This year’s conference comes on the heels of the U.S. Senate passing the National Security Supplemental Funding deal, which now heads to the U.S. House of Representatives for consideration.  

“I look forward to engaging with our partners at the Munich Security Conference to discuss our shared security challenges and goals and to further strengthen our important bonds,” said Senator Shaheen. “The ongoing war in Ukraine is at a critical point, and we know that what we do today will determine the strength of tomorrow’s autocrats – that's why I’m proud the U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan national security bill that would continue America’s support for our allies. By engaging in a bipartisan manner, we will reinforce to our allies and partners that we are committed to combatting authoritarian and terrorist threats in Europe, the Middle East, the Indo-Pacific and beyond.” 

While at the conference, Shaheen will participate in a panel on the Western Balkans with Albanian Prime Minister Rama and Macedonian President Pendarovski. She will also meet with Kosovo Prime Minister Kurti, Serbian President Vucic, Belarussian pro-democracy leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, EUCOM Commander Gen Christopher Cavoli, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and many others.
