Moldova Security Forum 2026 (MSF 2026) will take place in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova, on 8-9 October 2026, bringing together senior officials, ministers, diplomats, international experts, civil society representatives and academics for two days of high-level dialogue on European and regional security.
Now in its third edition, the Moldova Security Forum will focus on some of the most pressing challenges shaping Europe’s security environment. Participants will exchange perspectives, explore emerging security trends and discuss opportunities for deeper regional and international cooperation.
This year, particular attention will be given to the future of Europe’s security architecture, the Republic of Moldova’s role in shaping it, and the evolving security landscape across the wider Black Sea region.
Key Topics at Moldova Security Forum 2026
Security challenges increasingly extend beyond national borders, requiring coordinated responses, stronger international partnerships and greater resilience among democratic societies.
Against this backdrop, Moldova Security Forum 2026 will provide a platform for dialogue on both immediate security challenges and long-term approaches to strengthening stability and resilience.
Key areas of discussion will include:
● democratic resilience and the protection of democratic institutions;
● international cooperation on security;
● countering hybrid threats and emerging security challenges;
● strengthening regional and international partnerships.
The Forum will also explore effective models of cooperation among governments, international organisations, diplomatic representatives, experts and civil society.
By connecting policy perspectives with international expertise, MSF 2026 aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges facing Moldova, the Black Sea region and Europe as a whole.
Moldova’s Role in European and Regional Security
Hosting the Moldova Security Forum in Chișinău highlights the Republic of Moldova’s growing role in European and regional discussions on security, resilience and international cooperation.
As Europe’s security environment continues to evolve, strengthening democratic institutions, countering hybrid threats, building societal resilience and developing reliable international partnerships have become increasingly important.
These issues are particularly relevant for the Republic of Moldova due to its geographical position and the interconnected security dynamics of Eastern Europe and the Black Sea region.
International platforms such as Moldova Security Forum provide an opportunity to exchange expertise, strengthen cooperation and develop a shared understanding of the challenges and priorities that will shape regional security in the years ahead.
International Dialogue for a Secure and Resilient Europe
European security increasingly depends on the ability of countries and international partners to work together, respond effectively to emerging threats and maintain continuous dialogue.
Building trust, sharing expertise and identifying common approaches are essential to promoting peace, democratic resilience and long-term regional stability.
The third Moldova Security Forum will bring together representatives of government institutions, the diplomatic community, international organisations, civil society, academia and the expert community to discuss shared challenges and potential solutions.
Through open dialogue and international exchange, MSF 2026 aims to create an environment in which ideas can develop into stronger cooperation, future initiatives and meaningful partnerships.
