German Minister of Defence Ursula von der Leyen during her opening speech at the 51st MSC
The 51st Munich Security Conference was held from 6 to 8 February 2015. Among the more than 400 participants[1] from nearly 80 countries were 20 heads of state, 70 foreign and defence ministers[2] and 30 CEOs of large companies.[3] The German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen delivered the opening speech.[4]
In her speech, she explained Germany's willingness to assume international leadership responsibilities. It consisted of "leadership from the centre", the minister explained, and not one "with Pickelhaube"[5] - which could also imply "fighting together". Based on German history, von der Leyen derived the commitment of her country to defend human rights[6] but added however that the German population was "cautious" on this issue.[5]
