The 8th IISS Shangri-La Dialogue will be convened in Singapore from 29 to 31 May 2009.
The Shangri-La Dialogue has been recognised as a key event for defence and security diplomacy for the region. Since its inaugural meeting in 2002, the Dialogue has become a recognised part of the architecture of Asian defence diplomacy and is seen as the region's premier and most inclusive security institution. The Shangri-La Dialogue continues to serve as the best available vehicle in the Asia-Pacific region for developing and channelling astute and effective public policy on defence and security.
The 27 invited countries will be represented by delegations comprising defence ministers, chiefs of staff and other senior security policy-makers.
